A Message from the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District
Most of us are stuck at home and many things have changed, but your grass is still growing. Why not take advantage of the Lawn Care for Cleaner Air program and save up to $100 on a new, air-friendly, electric-powered mower?
You can get rebates on electric string trimmers, electric blowers, and reel mowers too. (Make sure to practice social distancing when making your purchase, of course!) Now is a great time to recycle that old, polluting equipment and save some cash on new gear that will make breathing a little easier for you and your community.
You can also get larger rebates on more powerful equipment with our Lawn Care for Cleaner Air Professional program.
Please see our website, louisvilleky.gov/lawncare
 If you have questions about Lawn Care for Cleaner Air, please email us or call us at (502) 574-6000.

Your Dog and Utility Workers – Safety Is the Top Priority
With more customers working from and spending time at home, it’s likely your dog may be spending more time outdoors during the day. Unfortunately, dog bites are a leading cause of injury to LG&E meter readers and field technicians.
We all love our pets and want to keep them safe, but even the friendliest dogs can become startled or upset – maybe even aggressive - when a stranger comes onto its owner's property. LG&E trains employees on how to prevent dog attacks, but you can help LG&E keep their employees – and your pet – safe. Contain your dog away from the meter on reading days, or when work is scheduled on your property. You can find your scheduled meter reading dates in the top section of your monthly LG&E bill or when you sign in to your online LG&E account. |

The CARE line will be operated by professionals from the Academic Support Programs Department and includes school counselors, mental health practitioners, Family Resource Youth Services coordinators, and coordinators from the departments of Early Childhood, Health Services and Community Supports.
CARE operators will be able to offer assistance, resources and referrals for:
• Basic needs, including food, utilities, clothing, public transportation and housing

• Emotional/ behavioral/ mental health
• Domestic violence
• Drug and alcohol addiction support
• Unemployment
• Homelessness
The line will be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, until May 29. The district will evaluate the response and determine if there’s a need for it to continue over the summer and into next year.
