Water Works District No. 14 election set for May 16, 2026 to continue 15.98-mill levy

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury adopted a resolution at its Nov. 20 meeting calling an election for Water Works District No. 14 on Saturday, May 16, 2026. The resolution authorizes voters to decide whether the district should continue to levy 15.98 mills to maintain and operate its waterworks equipment and facilities.

Mister Markantel moved the resolution, which was seconded by Mister Burley, and the presiding officer asked for objections; none were voiced and the resolution carried. The public transcript records the election date and the millage rate but does not include further explanatory materials or a ballot title in the meeting record.

The election, if approved by voters, would continue a property-tax levy dedicated to maintaining and operating the district’s waterworks system. The jury did not record a roll-call tally in the public minutes for this item.
