> LCG Sandbag Locations Open In Lafayette Parish: With heavy rainfall and potential flooding possible through the weekend, Lafayette Consolidated Government’s (LCG) Department of Public Works wishes to remind Lafayette Parish residents that local sandbag stations are open. Residents in areas at risk of flooding are encouraged to take precautions in advance of threatening weather to protect themselves and their properties.
Residents wishing to sandbag their property may access sandbags at one of two locations:
- LCG Compost Facility, located at 400 Dugas Rd., off North University Ave.
- South District sandbag site, located at 1017 Fortune Rd. in Youngsville.
The sites are "self-bagging," meaning the bags and sand are provided to Lafayette Parish residents free of charge, but residents will need to supply their own manpower and shovel. Residents are asked to limit their sandbags to four bags per exterior door, with a maximum of 20 sandbags per household. As a reminder, residents should keep and store sandbags for future rain events and not dispose of sandbags after one use.
