“Our customers in central Louisiana have experienced back-to-back hurricanes, so we know this is difficult. We have personnel assessing damage, working on the power lines, clearing debris and trimming trees in this two-parish area,” said James Lass, director of distribution operations and emergency management. “These two parishes received heavy rainfall, and as a result, there is significant flooding which has impacted our progress.
