Bayou Teche structure ready for storms

The St. Mary Parish Levee District made it official with a Facebook post Tuesday: The new Bayou Teche Flood Control Structure is complete and fully functional. It was closed on Friday, in anticipation of a storm from the tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico. This is one more piece in the puzzle for a complete system of protection from the Wax Lake Outlet to the Charenton Canal, the Levee District said.
