About the NLLD

The District includes over 250 miles of levees and drainage canals, and over 40 pump stations.

PROJECT UPDATES 
 
Drainage Improvements in Thibodaux

The North Lafourche Levee District is always working to improve drainage in the District. Recently completed improvements in Thibodaux include replacing mismatched and undersized culverts and installing catch basins on Audubon Avenue, stretching from Menard Street to near Babbington Hall on the campus of Nicholls State University. See BEFORE and AFTER pictures below.

Levee Repairs for Lockport-to-Larose Nearing Completion

The project to repair a 60-foot section of the Lockport to Larose Levee in the Valentine area is nearing completion. Thanks to the generous cooperation of local landowners, borrow material is being used to back-fill the canal and provide more support for the levee. Since this design has no wetland impacts, contractor Low Land Construction Co., Inc. has been able to make the repairs without delay. See BEFORE and AFTER pictures below.

 NLLD is committed to protecting our people, property and our way of life in Lafourche Parish!
