An encroachment is any obstruction in a right-of-way.

The rising level of encroachments threatens to delay proper maintenance of both our waterways and rights-of-way. Encroachments can have a harmful effect on our environment but are often preventable. LA-MSID encompasses rural, residential and commercial areas, so it is important to note that riding recreational vehicles on the rights–of–way is prohibited and may cause damage to these much-needed maintenance areas.

Types of Encroachments

• Environmental Encroachments – Refers to trees, flowers,  plants, dirt, and/or yard waste that may find their way onto the District’s rights-of-way.
• Non-Environmental Encroachments – Refers to the disposal of garbage or construction debris; the construction of pools, fences, sheds, un-permitted docks, and other structures; and the parking of vehicles on the District’s rights-of-way.
