The Loreauville Canal Control Structure, a decades-old piece of infrastructure in Iberia Parish, has recently undergone a major rehabilitation project to safeguard the region’s freshwater supply.
Originally built to prevent saltwater intrusion, the structure plays a key role in allowing the Teche-Vermilion Fresh Water District to manage the freshwater that flows into Bayou Teche and through the parish’s waterways.
