If you are on the levee south of Federal City, you may notice an additional bike rack and FixIt station that we recently installed. The equipment was donated by the Algiers Economic Development Foundation and installed by the West Bank Flood Protection Authority.
This is part of our work to not only protect West Bankers from flooding but also to enhance their quality of life.

Progress continues on the seepage cutoff wall along the Mississippi River levee in Marrero. Levee crown improvement is underway now.
Once completed, this project will prevent water from seeping through the levee during high river events..
Sector gates are at the very core of our system when it comes to flood protection. On the West Bank, SLFPA-W manages three different sector gates: Bayou Segnette, Harvey Canal and the West Closure Complex.
Every day, our teams work to ensure each of these gates are working to the best of their ability, keeping West Bank residents safe from flooding. And in the case of a storm, they are closed in coordination with our local partners to prevent storm surge.
Happy New Year from the West Bank Flood Protection Authority. We wish you and your loved ones a happy and successful year ahead. We look forward to continuing to serve the West Bank by maintaining our flood protection system.
From all of us here at the West Bank Flood Protection Authority, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May this be a season of peace and joy for you and your loved ones.
