Sand bags available in Lower St. Martin Parish, no-wake zone in effect
Sand bags are available in Lower St. Martin Parish, while a no-wake zone for the Stephensville and Belle River areas has been issued.
The self-serve sand bag location is at Stephensville Park. Public works personnel were expected to be at the site Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, Wednesday morning, St. Mary Parish President Chester Cedars issued a no-wake zone for the Stephensville and Belle River areas. It will remain in effect until further notice.
Because water levels are elevated, boaters could place more water into bayou side homes and property if they are navigating their craft at high speeds.
