A culvert permit is required in order to ensure that property owners purchase the correct size for their roadside ditches. Once an application is received, DPW will contact you via email or phone with the size of the culvert needed. Property owners are responsible for the purchase of the culverts. The Police Jury will set one per individual property owner. Developers and businesses are required to obtain a permit but will have to set themselves. If this is deemed a job for the Road Crew, we ask that you call or e-mail when the culvert is physically on your property, ready to be installed and the installation location property marked.
