Louisville Water is implementing a multi-year project to upgrade our water meters. In the coming weeks, contractors and employees will do work in a portion of District 24 to replace older meters with new ones. The map above shows where we will be working. The installation is quick and will only result in water being turned off for a short period of time, typically less than 30 minutes. Before the work is performed we will knock on the door to let the customer know what we are doing. We will also leave a note on the door when the work is complete.

Information on PFAS
 Louisville MSD Urban Reforestation Grants will pay for trees planted within MSD’s Drainage Service area including most of Jefferson County. The cities of Anchorage, Jeffersontown, St. Matthews, and Shively provide residents and businesses in those municipalities with stormwater/drainage services. Therefore, those four areas are not part of this grant program.
MSD’s Urban Reforestation Grant Program is open to residents, organizations, companies and agencies. Download the Urban Reforestation Grant Application or visit LouisvilleMSD.org/trees for more information. The application deadline is Monday, August 1, 2022, at 5 PM. Please contact Sarah Duker at Sarah.Duker@LouisvilleMSD.org or 502.540.6248 with any questions.
The MSD Urban Reforestation Program plants 1,000 trees annually by working with residents, businesses, municipal organizations and neighborhood associations. These trees redirect an average of 1.35 million gallons of stormwater away from the sewer system every year, decreasing sewer overflows into our waterways. By planting more trees, MSD not only absorbs stormwater but also reduces erosion and flooding, provides shade, reduces noise pollution and carbon dioxide in the air, and provides a habitat for nearby wildlife.
The high temperatures and heat indexes in the triple digits we experienced last week can be challenging to people who work outdoors, athletes, the elderly, children and people who have chronic illnesses as well as people without homes. It can also be dangerous for pets.
Since it’s summer, we’re likely to experience more days of extreme heat. The city offers cooling centers where you can get indoors and out of the heat. The Coalition for the Homeless coordinates the Operation White Flag program to ensure that individuals experiencing houselessness can find shelter during severe weather. Operation White Flag goes into effect when the temperature or heat index is 95 degrees or higher.
Know the health risks associated with a heat wave.
Here are some tips to help you prevent health risks from excessive heat:
- Seek air-conditioning: If your home does not have air-conditioning, seek areas that do-such as libraries, shopping malls, community/senior centers, grocery stores and movie theatres during the warmest period of the day. If you must stay in a home without air-conditioning, stay on the lowest floor out of the sunshine.
Please take a few minutes to fill out the Parks For All survey. Parks For All will collect new data, listen to new voices, share new information, and create a roadmap for equitable and transparent investment in our public parks.
The Parks Alliance of Louisville is currently gathering community feedback that will inform an action strategy for our public parks. Their goal is to ensure the parks AND neighborhoods with the greatest need are prioritized for the earliest investment.
