Ascension Parish Government, NWI look for new wastewater plant site after community feedback
ASCENSION PARISH, La. (BRPROUD) — The Ascension Parish Government and National Water Infrastructure are no longer seeking to use the Honeywell/PriceCo property for a proposed wastewater treatment plant site.
Public feedback played a part in the decision. It “follows two town hall meetings where residents expressed concerns about the proximity of the treatment plant to their homes,” according to the Ascension Parish Government.
Those meetings took place on June 25 and July 22.
Ascension Parish President Clint Cointment and Tom Pertuit, CEO of National Water Infrastructure, offered their thoughts on what may happen in the future.
“I am hopeful that we can all agree on an alternative site location for the regional sewer treatment plant. NWI and our industry partners want to be good stewards of our community. I am confident that by working together, we can create a positive outcome for everyone,” said Cointment.

“We are committed to working closely with Ascension Parish Government and the community to find a site that meets everyone’s needs. Our goal is to be a trusted partner and to provide a modern, consolidated sewer system that benefits all residents,” said Pertuit.
National Water Infrastructure bought the sewer system in the parish earlier this year.
