After Hurricane Laura did substantial damage to the City Of Lake Charles Water Business Office, it resulted in loss of a lot of their equipment. However, replacement equipment has arrived, but due to limited staffing, many of our bills are still being estimated.
If you are a current Lake Charles water customer and feel that your bill has been a little more than average, your services could have been compromised due to leaks caused by Hurricane Laura or Delta, or the recent winter storm. You may call 337-491-1307 to request a leak adjustment.
Once your meter is read and if it is determined you have been charged more for water than usual, be prepared to receive a credit to your account. There is no need to call and request a credit, as this will be done automatically.
Could a collapse of the power grid like the one that crippled Texas during a major winter storm earlier this month happen in Northeast Tennessee?
While anything is possible during a once-in-100-years severe weather event like the one that swept through the nationâs midsection nearly two weeks ago, BrightRidge CEO Jeff Dykes said this regionâs power provider is âin a much better position to handleâ such a scenario.
He said the Tennessee Valley Authority, which provides power to most of the areaâs public utilities, relies on a more diverse mix of sources to generate the electricity that it sells.
