for Atakapa Services. " It's amazing what

inspection and cleaning program.
Inspecting, cleaning and rehabilitating an
aging storm drain system was important to
Mayor Nicholas Hunter, and since then he
has kept it a priority of his administration.
" Working closely with the city's
engineering department, we are attacking
hot spots that experience chronic flooding
during typical-to-heavy rain events " said
LaCroix. " For each area, we are cleaning,
inspecting and making rehabilitation
recommendations to the city. "
Ultimately, the city takes the rehab
recommendations, along with the
inspection videos of the inside of the
pipes and the reports generated from
that information, and works with local
Lake Charles' consultants and engineers
to develop rehab projects based on
Atakapa's inspections.
" It's not like the pipe is being cleaned
and inspected and then our videos are
put on the shelf, " LaCroix pointed out.
" The city is proactively bidding out rehab
