§ RS 33:3884. Abolition of district or change of boundaries

The police jury may repeal any ordinance creating a sewerage district, or may abolish a sewerage district in its entirety, or may change or alter its boundaries, but neither the existence nor the territorial boundaries of a sewerage district shall be affected in any manner which will impair any obligations that may have been incurred by the sewerage district during the period of its existence.

A preliminary resolution declaring the intention of the police jury to repeal or to abolish or to alter the boundaries shall be adopted, fixing a date for hearing.  Notice of the hearing shall be given in the same manner as in the case of the formation of a sewerage district.  A hearing shall be held before any order is entered which affects the existence or territorial limits of any sewerage district.
