Jefferson Parish Secures Snow Plows and Salt for Icy Roads | Jefferson Parish

Still, in a normal week, Jefferson Parish experiences between 300 and 500 breaks in its aging water distribution system. Lee Sheng said her team hopes to resolve isolated water breaks on Wednesday.

The parish bought 40 tons of salt, but Lee Sheng said there is no timeline yet for when the streets will be safe for drivers.

On Tuesday, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to four car crashes and rescued 23 people who were stranded in their vehicles, Jefferson Parish Councilman Scott Walker said.
