 Louisville Water Company will be working to make improvements to a 24" main that runs along the Westport Road corridor. Weather permitting, work will start Friday, March 29 and continue 24 hours a day until the project is completed. During this time, Freys Hill Road will be closed at Westport Road. Work is anticipated to last until the morning of April 1. Final restoration (restoring the site to pre-construction conditions) is scheduled to begin the evening of Friday, April 12. Customers are not expected to lose water service during this project. If you have any questions or concerns, call project engineer Andrew Williams at 569-3600 ext. 2219 during normal work hours.
There has been a great deal of discussion recently regarding city services - what is necessary, at what level, etc. To aid in this conversation, I thought it would be beneficial to share what some of our departments do and how that work affects District 17. I plan on doing this regularly. If there is a department or function of city government you would like to learn more about, please let me know. This week, we'll focus on the Property Maintenance Division of Metro Codes and Regulations.
This division enforces Louisville Metro Code of Ordinances Chapter 156, the property maintenance code, which delineates the minimum standards for all properties in Jefferson County to ensure public health, safety, and welfare. There are 30 code enforcement officers/inspectors assigned to specific areas across Louisville to address reported complaints. These complaints range from tall grass to dilapidated structures to rubbish and garbage. This fiscal year, this division has performed 274 inspections in District 17. These inspections have resulted in 71 violation notices and 18 penalty citations being issued in an effort to bring the properties into compliance and improve neighborhoods throughout the district. For more information, visit www.louisvilleky.gov/government/codes-regulations/property-maintenance.
 Please join Councilman Winkler and other elected officials at Café LOUIE tomorrow from 9-10 a.m. at Lyndon City Hall, 515 Wood Road. This is a great opportunity to meet some of your local elected officials and discuss issues or concerns important to you.
