Ascension Parish Chief Administrative Officer John Diez addressed the Donaldsonville City Council during the April 13 meeting about the parishwide sewer proposal on the April 24 ballot.
Parish leaders have been on an informational campaign, both in-person and online, over recent weeks. Ultimately, voters will decide if the parish will enter into a deal to sell eastbank sewer assets and allow National Water Infrastructure to run a regional sewer system.
As pointed out by the administration in the past, Diez said the parish has spent $42 million subsidizing some 2,000 sewer customers in the last 10 years. In previous meetings, the parish council has discussed how regional sewer talks date back to the 1990s.
