Francine Weather Update

As of 8 AM Thursday, September 12, 2024, conditions in Beau Chene are the following:

-> At this time the whole community has power. 

-> All streets are passable with the exception of Tete L’Ours Drive by the bayou.

-> Our water and wastewater systems are fulling functioning.

-> Northshore Disposal is picking up Garbage today!

Per our weather gauges, we received approximately 8 inches of rain yesterday and a max wind gust of 64 mph.  I want to commend our BCHOA Public Works Staff for doing an outstanding job in response to Hurricane Francine.  Four of our staff members stayed onsite through the night Wednesday, September 11th. Our staff have worked this morning to move any tree debris off roads and are monitoring all of our water and sewer system assets. 

We were very fortunate that most of Beau Chene experienced very short power outages (5-10 minutes).  We have several mobile diesel generators ready to use in case of a power outage.  However, we were able to manage the situation mostly without them.

Due to the prompt response time of our Public Works staff, our systems (water and sewer) remained fully operational throughout this event.
