Due to a mechanical failure during a scheduled upgrade of the Texas Street Sewer Lift Station, North Monroe residents could experience sewer issues.
The Texas Station services a large area, covering from 1-20 to the North Levee System. Its service boundaries include everything from Riverside Drive to Lamy Lane; River Oaks is covered by a different station.
The City of Monroe Sewer Department is working to address the issue as quickly as possible. The work is expected to take between two and three days. During the time it takes to address the issue, there is a likelihood of sewage backing up into all of the sewer lines within the Texas station’s coverage area. Overflows from cleanouts and manholes are also possible.
