If the pumping station is built, constructed, and maintained, in whole or in part, by public funds, it would violate R.S. 42:267(A). See AG Op. No. 09-0085
There is one exception which would not seem to fit here, besides the high school gym exception in 17:85:
The statute prohibits the naming of any public building which is built, constructed, and maintained, in whole or part, with public funds in honor of any living person. However, this office (the AG) has previously determined that a portion of a building may be named in honor of a living person without violating former La. R.S. 14:136, now La. R.S. 42:267. See La. Atty. Gen. Op. 00-66 (a wing of the Baton Rouge Planetarium may be named in honor of a living person) and La. Atty. Gen. Op. 86-814 (a library within a school building may be named for a living person). AG Op. No. 09-0083
