Get the latest updates to floodgate closures due to the Construction of the Leon Theriot Lock.

 

 

 

Our Goal is...

...to provide, within our levee system, the highest possible level of protection from flooding due to high tides, heavy rainfalls, tropical storms and hurricanes for the safety and well being of the community of South Lafourche.        

 

    

     South Lafourche Levee District was signed into existence on June 2, 1970 under the name of South Louisiana Tidal Water Control Levee District by then Governor John McKeithen.  In 1978 the name was changed to South Lafourche Levee District.

     The South Lafourche Levee District office is located in Galliano, Louisiana.  The hurricane protection system consists of over 48 miles of ring levee and has 33,400 acres within the flood protection system.  There are 6 pumping stations within the system.  The total acreage of the levee district exceeds 439,000.

     For more information on the levee district, check out our About SLLD section.
