Senior Discount Recipients Must Recertify Eligibility
The Louisville MSD rate discount for low-income customers triples from the previous 10 percent to 30 percent effective with billing periods beginning on or after October 1, 2022. It will also be easier to apply for the discount because of a new partnership with the Louisville Metro office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS).
Eligibility for MSD’s Emergency Wastewater Rate Assistance Program (EWRAP) is limited to households at or below 150 percent of federal poverty guidelines.
RCS will handle a one stop application process covering both EWRAP and the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). That means applicants will submit documentation only once instead of having to go through separate processes for wastewater discounts and energy assistance.
RCS will also take applications for the MSD Senior Citizen Discount Program. New this year, seniors already receiving the discount must recertify eligibility each year before the anniversary of their previous approval date by filing a new application. The program provides a 30 percent discount for customers age 65 and above with gross household incomes of less than $35,000. Seniors may also continue to apply directly with MSD at louisvillemsd.org/paymybill.
EWRAP is approved for the period of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. The MSD Board will decide each year whether to continue the program.
Jefferson County MSD customers can make appointments for LIHEAP registration and EWRAP application by phone at 502-991-8391 or online at louisvilleky.cascheduler.com.
You are invited to attend a review for a REVISED DETAILED DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT PLAN and Binding Elements, and review of a plan within the Floyds Fork Development Review Overlay.

A consumer reported to BBB that what they thought to be a lucky online interaction with a country music star turned out to be a scam. The consumer received a message, allegedly from Blake Shelton, informing her she’d won tickets and VIP passes; the messages were actually from a scammer who ended up conning the consumer out of $500. BBB advises consumers to practice caution online, and never give personal or financial information out to someone you don’t know.
- A consumer reported receiving a text message regarding a delivery of an iPad Pro that included a link to a (fake) tracking number. This is a phishing scam, and a good reminder to never click on links in unsolicited text messages.
-
Multiple consumers have reported receiving calls regarding Medicare. BBB advises consumers that while Medicare does provide help navigating healthcare plans, they do not charge for this service and will not contact consumers out of the blue. Never give out your Medicare ID number, Social Security number, health plan info, or banking information to anyone you don’t know.
- Several local consumers have reported falling prey to advance fee loans. BBB reminds consumers, while there are often fees associated with legitimate loans, any time a lender tries to charge an upfront fee before you receive your loan is a sign you are dealing with a scam.
- BBB continues to receive reports of puppy scams in the area; one recurring red flag is scammers claiming the victim needs to pay for expensive freight charges before receiving the pet. When buying a new pet, make sure you see the animal in person first, check the breeder’s credentials and references, and only pay with a secured method, such as a credit card. Adopting from a BBB Accredited Charity is also an excellent way to find your next pet!
- A consumer reported to BBB he received multiple voicemails regarding pending legal action in Indiana. This is a scam message and an attempt to frighten consumers into thinking they are in legal trouble. If you receive a similar message, do not reply and do not give out your personal or financial information. Contact law enforcement or a government agency in question if you have any concern about the legitimacy of the message.
- Multiple consumers have reported receiving bogus “receipts” for McAfee antivirus products. These messages are a scam and not actually from McAfee. If you receive a similar message, check your bank account or credit card statement to ensure a charge has not gone through, and do not reply to the message or click any links.
- BBB warns of scammers using Facebook and other social media to sell illegal dietary supplements. Many of these supplements contain ingredients that are potentially dangerous. Always check with your doctor before starting any supplement, and research companies first before buying.
-
BBB warns consumers of cryptocurrency scams popping up on TikTok. Beware of videos showing a pile of cash where the creator states they earned the money in just a few days by investing in cryptocurrency. Remember, if an investment opportunity sounds too good to be true, or promises immediate large returns, it is likely a scam!
- BBB warns consumers of free solar panel installation scams. In some cases, scammers collect consumers’ personal information before disappearing. In other cases, the scammers claim the consumer needs to pay upfront costs, which they promise will be reimbursed by a (non-existent) government program. BBB advises consumers interested in solar panels to not give in to high-pressure sales tactics, to get competing bids, and to research companies first.

The next round of applications for non-profit organizations in Louisville to receive a package of new, electric-powered lawn equipment through the APCD’s Lawn Care for Cleaner Air Community Equipment Grant Program is now open.
This will be the third package of lawn equipment awarded by the program, which includes an electric mower, trimmer, blower, and extra rechargeable battery that powers all three tools. All non-profits located in Jefferson County are eligible to apply through December 30, 2022. The equipment will be made available for the 2023 lawncare season.
In addition to meeting the maintenance needs of a local non-profit organization, the grant aims to expand and encourage the usage of low-emission lawn equipment.
Approximately 20.5 million pounds of air pollution is produced each year operating gas-powered equipment to maintain land in Louisville. The use of electric-powered lawn equipment reduces these emissions. The reduction in emissions is especially beneficial for those operating it and anyone nearby, improving air quality at the neighborhood level.
Applicants are judged on a few criteria, including their need for electric-powered equipment and their commitment to sustainability. All non-profit organizations (excluding governmental agencies) located in Jefferson County that meet the requirements are encouraged to apply, but those located in Environmental Justice areas (defined by the Kentuckiana Regional Planning & Development Agency) will receive special consideration.
The grant is a part of the APCD’s Lawn Care for Cleaner Air program, which offers rebates to Louisville residents that purchase electric lawn equipment and offers even larger rebates to those that also trade in their old gas-powered equipment. The program has issued nearly 12,000 rebates, keeping more than four million pounds of pollution from Louisville’s air.
Eligible organizations can apply directly through this form. More information on grant eligibility, equipment, and applications can be found on our website.

All of you and your family and friends are invited to a FREE event on October 1 at Bowman Field honoring Phil Ardery a long time Louisvillian who passed away in 2012.
The host organization, Flight Club 502, was created in 2015 to teach teens about aviation, realistic goal setting, leadership, and life planning. Hundreds of Louisville young people have become members. Many have learned to fly and now have private pilot licenses. See www.flightclub502.org.
The Club created a program to honor people who have passed away who exemplify the values of Flight Club 502. The Club will honor Major General Phil Ardery on October 1 at a FREE event at Bowman Field from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Phil Ardery flew B24 bomber planes in combat in World War II and published a memoir about his service: Bomber Pilot, a Memoir of World War II, University Press of Kentucky 1978. Phil Ardery was the initial Commander of the Kentucky Air National Guard, created in 1947. He also served on the Fiscal Court of Jefferson County, the governing board of important Louisville healthcare providers, and was active in many other civic and charitable organizations.
During the first hour, 6:00 to 7:00, people will mix and mingle. Hundreds are expected to attend, including UPS pilots and their families, Kentucky Air National Guard Officers, NCOs, and Airmen and their families, the families of the hundreds of Club members, and people from many walks of life. People can take tours of the Flight Club 502 building at Bowman Field and talk with young “Ambassadors” from the Club membership who will tell them about the Club’s programs. They can get up close to the Club’s aircraft and other aircraft that will be on display.
During this first hour, recorded statements of several people, including Ed Glasscock, Chairman Emeritus of Louisville's largest law firm, First Brown Todd, Cathy Dobbins, the CEO of Wellspring (wellspringky.org), which Phil Ardery co-founded in the early 1980s, with Boz Todd, Barry Bingham, Sr, will play on several screens at various sites. Wellspring provides residential, crisis management, and other services to adults in Louisville with severe mental health problems. For over 40 years it has been an important provider of mental health services to the people of Louisville.
From 7:00 to 7:30 pm live speakers will talk about General Ardery and Flight Club 502. They will include the current Commander of the Kentucky Air National Guard. There will be live singing, a prayer, and a flyover. It will be a memorial program honoring General Ardery as an important aviator who has “Gone West” – passed away.
No one needs to arrive at 6:00 pm sharp. People can come and go during the first hour if they like. This is a “soft” and (FREE) event.
October 1 is also the first day of the two-day Bowmanfest – celebrating 100 years of Bowman Field. Many aircraft will be on display. It will run from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Bowmanfest has paid admission. Ambassadors from Flight Club 502 will be present, wearing distinctive shirts, to help steer people to the FC 502 Gone West event beginning at 6:00 pm. Again, the Gone West event from 6:00 to 7:30 pm is FREE and all are welcome.
Now that Fall is upon us, we are excited to announce plans for the Community Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat! It will be held here at the Community Center, 6104 Bardstown Road on Thursday evening, October 20, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. This year, the festival is going to be co-hosted by, FC Fire Protection District and FC High School! It is a fun-filled family night of trick or treating, bounce houses, a petting zoo and all sorts of fun activities. Like in years past, we will have a fire truck from the FCFD and an LMPD Helicopter, a food truck, along with many other attractions!
The board is offering opportunities for sponsorship of several of the events for the Family Fun Fall Festival at the Community Center. Sponsorships are now available, and signage will be displayed the day of the festival, here on Bardstown Road. Call the office for details.
Even if you do not want to sponsor an event, let us know if you would like to set up a booth. The kiddos will trick or treat at your trunk and you will have the opportunity to network with parents! As a Chamber Member, it is absolutely FREE to have a booth at the festival! Limited space is available, so don't delay. We will take vendors on a first come basis, so please respond to this email or call Jean in the Chamber office, 239-7550, as soon as possible.
This festival is a great way to multiply your business contacts and gain increased exposure to our community. We send flyers, digitally, to several local elementary schools, such as FC Elementary, Bates Elementary, Wheeler Elementary, and St. Gabriel & St. Bernard Catholic Schools. This is our first year back since 2019, where we had a terrific turnout and expect the same this year. Don't miss out on all the fun!
