Huge thank you to the 7th Division Louisville Metro Police Department for putting on such a fun and thoughtful community Easter Egg Hunt at Highview Park!

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced residents may now fill out an online form to request curbside debris pick-up following recent severe weather events, including tornadoes and flooding.
Metro urges residents to keep in mind this curbside service is for residential storm and flood related debris only. Household hazardous waste will not be accepted at the curb. Additionally, residents must fill out the form, then wait for further instructions on when to bring their debris to their curb. Businesses should contact and go-through their insurance for assistance.
If you cannot access the Self-Reporting Form, or need additional assistance, please contact Public Works at 502-574-3572. To find the Self-Reporting Form and review frequently asked questions visit the Storm and Flood Debris Cleanup webpage.
Kentucky households may qualify for a one-time electric benefit through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Spring Subsidy Cooling Component. Applications will be accepted from April 15 to May 30, 2025, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Spring Subsidy is designed to help households with incomes up to 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines offset their cooling costs. It provides a one-time electric benefit, which is paid directly to the household’s electricity vendor.
Jefferson County residents wishing to apply must schedule an appointment utilizing the automated appointment system. Appointments can be scheduled by phone by calling 502-991-8391 or online at louisvilleky.cascheduler.com. This toll-free service is currently open and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
All applicants will be required to supply the following documentation at the time of application:
Proof of Social Security Number or Permanent Residence card (Green Card) for each member of the household.
Proof of income from the preceding month for all household members.
Most current electric bill, statement from your landlord (if electric is included in your rent), or statement from your utility company if you participate in a pre-pay electric program.
The account number and name on the account for your electric bill.
Spring Subsidy does not require a disconnect notice, a past due bill, or eviction notice. The Subsidy benefit can be applied as a credit on your account. Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect a household's eligibility.
