    my apologies for the confusion.
    i meant the levee behind my neighborhood (in lower terrebonne).

    it has failed multiple times in past and it’s in a battle with mother nature right now too.

    When is the last time, if ever, any work/improvements were made to the levee?

    I have a friend who is a heavy equipment operator. He has been working on adding more dirt to the levee from New Orleans to St. Bernard Parish for the last 7 or 8 months.

    Wow! What is the Federal, State or combination of both governments that allowed it to reach the point where it's taken this long for improvements?
