Shreveport is dealing with more infrastructure woes this week. Repairs are being made to a 42-inch sewer main located near the 6900 block of Buncombe Road close to 70th Street today.
The repairs are necessary to prevent further damage and service disruptions. This work is part of the Department’s operational maintenance program. The City is utilizing its On-Demand contract to facilitate the repairs.
