Louisiana Homeowners Can Get Up to $4,000 for Sewer System Repairs

Some Louisiana homeowners can now get help paying for home sewer system work.

The program offers reimbursement for pump-outs, repairs, or replacement of failing home sewerage systems. It is for eligible homeowners in parts of Ascension, Assumption, Lafourche, and Terrebonne parishes who are not connected to a public sewer system.

How Much Money Is Available?

Eligible disadvantaged homeowners can receive up to $4,000.

Other eligible homeowners can receive up to $2,000.

Pump-out costs may also qualify for reimbursement.

Who May Qualify?

You may qualify if you own a home in an eligible area along Bayou Lafourche, Bayou Folse, or Bayou Terrebonne and your home uses a private sewer system.

The program is meant to lower repair costs for homeowners while helping protect nearby bayous and communities.

How to Apply

Homeowners can visit SCPDC.org/programs or call 985-851-2900 for program details.

Participants must allow SCPDC to complete a free on-site inspection. If repairs are needed, the program can refer the homeowner to a licensed contractor. A final inspection is required before reimbursement is issued.

Deadline

Funding is limited. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the money runs out.
