Thank you for your patience as we work to make our streets safer and better for everyone.
Please be aware of the signage, flaggers, workers, and their
equipment as you approach the work area.

A scam is going around our area. Make sure your family and friends know it is a scam. Entergy will not call you and demand payment over the phone. If you are concerned, hang up and call the main Entergy number (not the one the scammers gave you). That's the best way to check on your balance.

This is a friendly reminder that K–4th Grade Flag Football registration closes tonight at 11:59 PM. If your child hasn’t signed up yet, now’s the time!
Please also help spread the word — tell your friends and family so they can join in the fun this fall.
