Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 38, § 1841. Creation of districts by parishes; territory included

Any parish, on its own initiative, may adopt a resolution, creating one or more consolidated gravity drainage districts, in the parish. The consolidated gravity drainage districts shall include in the boundaries thereof, two or more gravity drainage districts and also may include therein territory or lands not included in any other drainage districts. No consolidated gravity drainage district shall be created hereunder with the boundaries thereof co-existent with the boundaries of a parish. Parishes shall create consolidated gravity drainage districts and describe and define the boundaries thereof, upon being furnished with certified copies of resolutions adopted by two or more drainage districts requesting the parish to create a consolidated gravity drainage district in the parish and describing and defining the boundaries thereof.
