About the NLLD
The North Lafourche Conservation, Levee, and Drainage District (known as NLLD) was formed in 1992 to provide drainage and flood protection services for the northern portion of Lafourche Parish, including the entire parish north of the Intracoastal Canal.
The District includes over 250 miles of levees and drainage canals, and over 40 pump stations.
The NLLD office is located at 627 Jackson Street,
Thibodaux, LA 70301.

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.
