Here's the latest update on Water Billing for Lake Charles


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.

Rebuild or retreat? The future of Louisiana's coastline in jeopardy - 60 Minutes


In an unprecedented year of circumstance, 2020 brought a record 12 named storms to the United States — with five striking Louisiana. After Hurricane Laura hit Louisiana in late August, some homes in Cameron Parish could only be reached by boat despite being eight miles inland from the Gulf Coast.
CBS News' Enrique Acevedo met up with Heidi Baccigalopi after another storm, Hurricane Delta, hit nearly two months later. At the time, land typically used by grazing cows remained underwater.  
"For most of these people around here," Acevedo said to Baccigalopi, "it's their second or third time they've had to rebuild their home in the last 15 years?"
