Overview

The State Power Authority Act governs public water, sewerage, and drainage services in Louisiana, providing for the creation and operation of the districts and boards that build and run those systems. It sets out how such bodies are composed, governed, and staffed โ€” terms, compensation, quorums, meetings, officers, engineers, legal counsel, and civil service treatment of employees โ€” and defines their powers, including establishing systems, expropriating property and servitudes, contracting through advertised bids, adopting plans and regulations enforceable by penalty, and extending service to adjoining parishes. It also supplies the financing machinery, authorizing special assessments with installment notes and liens, remedies on default, pooled finances, and a limited period within which the validity of proceedings may be challenged.
