HAHNVILLE — St. Charles Parish government will provide residents with a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of parish infrastructure and services, including pumping stations and the new Emergency Operations Center, during its fall 2014 Info Tour.

Tours will be held Oct. 15 on the West Bank and Oct. 17 on the East Bank between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Meetup for both tours will be at the new St. Charles Parish Emergency Operations Center, 15026 River Road in Hahnville. Transportation and lunch will be provided.

New additions to the tour include a walk-through of the St. Charles Parish Animal Shelter and the new Edward A. Dufresne Community Center, available both days.

“I want to personally encourage all St. Charles Parish residents to take the Info Tour,” Parish President V.J. St. Pierre Jr. said. “It offers a complete look at what it takes to keep the parish up and running, in a way that many residents don’t notice as they go about their daily activities.”

Patrons will also have the chance to interface with various department heads that will answer questions about infrastructure and future plans.

The West Bank tour will feature the Luling wastewater oxidation pond, the Cousins pumping station and the Luling waterworks facility. In addition, the East Bank tour will feature the Destrehan wastewater treatment plant, the Cross Bayou pumping station and the New Sarpy waterworks plant.

To reserve a spot, call 985-783-5182 or fill out the online form located at scpinfotour.org. The deadline to sign up is Oct. 10. Space is limited.

Patrons should be ready to climb stairs.
