RE:
Advisory opinion regarding the Village of Moreauville performing drainage work on private property.
Facts:
Approximately 30 years ago, the Village of Moreauville constructed a drainage ditch on privately owned lands. Overtime, nature has filled the drainage ditch, which is still located on privately owned lands. The blocked ditch is causing flooding in areas of the Village as well as creates a health problem. The land on which the drainage ditch is located is owned by a private citizen, Tommy Laborde. The Village of Moreauville would like to dig and grade the drainage ditch to allow for proper draining.

Recommendations:
Decline to render and direct requester to the Attorney General's office.

Assigned Attorney: Tracy Barker
