We at Tangipahoa Parish Sewer District No.1 strive to provide cost-effective, reliable, and high-quality wastewater services to the residents of Tangipahoa Parish. We are committed to operating and maintaining our facilities economically and safely, protecting public health and the environment.
Our legacy
TPSD No. 1 was created in accordance with Louisiana Revised Statute 33:3811 in order to provide community sewage services to unincorporated areas of the parish. Our service area encompasses the entire parish, excluding municipalities, with the most customers located south of Tickfaw and Ponchatoula.
In 1985, the Tangipahoa Parish Council enacted ordinance 85-5, establishing a Sewerage District.
The original Board Members were Richard Macalusa, Doretha Alford, Donald Larson, Harold Hodges, and Louis Hoover.
Upgrades included the completion of a new treatment plant serving the SE Hammond area, expansion of the Bedico treatment plant along, and extended services from I-12 South in Robert along Hwy 445 and east on Hwy 22 to the St. Tammany Parish line.
TPSD contains 6 regional wastewater treatment facilities and 24 smaller treatment plants, along with 100 lift stations.
We continue to collect and treat wastewater, proudly serving more than 6,000 residents across the parish.
