ERATH — The town of Erath is known for its Fourth of July Celebration and the late Cajun musician D.L. Menard. Now, Darryl Rabassa wants to put Erath on the map for something else.
Rabassa, who lives south of Erath, approached Mayor Taylor Mencacci, and the Erath aldermen seeking permission to use the Erath City Park to conduct a cornhole tournament on July 31.
“We want this to be big and make Erath known for its cornhole tournament,” Rabassa told the aldermen. “It is expected to bring a lot of revenue into the town.”

Abbeville has issued a water boil advisory.
The advisory is from the 100 block of Alphonse St., beginning at Graceland Avenue, and ending at the 500 block of Alphonse at Edwards St.
This advisory is for both sides of the road until further notice.

DELCAMBRE - Delcambre water meters have been the talk of the town for the last few years.
Each month, representatives from Sellers and Associates attend the regular town meetings and give updates on the progress of the water meter project. Installation went as smoothly as it could, but reading the meters and receiving the information that the meters hold has been an issue since going online in January.
Since January, each report from Sellers and Associates has brought up issues with some of the 900-plus meters installed.
