Green infrastructure including curb inlets, rain gardens and underground
trenches planned for the NuLu area will capture rainwater and keep it out
of the combined sewer system, minimizing sewer overflows into the Ohio River.
Green Infrastructure project in NuLu to beautify while decreasing sewer overflows A suite of green infrastructure projects in the NuLu area—
located along the 100 through 1000 blocks of East Market
Street —has been approved for funding. The project area
will feature rain gardens and underground infiltration
trenches, which will prevent nearly 3 million gallons of
rainwater from entering the combined sewer system during
a typical rainfall year. This will help guard against sewer
overflows into Beargrass Creek and the Ohio River, as well
as provide relief from surface flooding in the area.

MSD Employees raise $110,000 to support community organizations
The 2016 MSD Cares annual-giving
campaign—under the leadership of
IT Director Tom Luckett—has raised
$110,000, which breaks all previous MSD Cares giving records.
Through this fund, employees provide support to charitable
programs with both a local and global reach. The charities
include Metro United Way; Fund for the Arts; Wednesday’s
Child; and Water Charities: Engineers Without Borders,
Louisville Water Foundation, Water for People and WaterStep.
The MSD Cares celebration was held at MSD’s Central
Maintenance Facility on December 2. Guest speakers from
each supported agency, as well as community leaders
and Louisville legends Derek Anderson and Darrell Griffith
spoke in praise of the success of this employee-supported
campaign.
Executive Director Tony Parrott, states “On behalf of MSD,
I would like to express my gratitude to all employees for
their support of these worthy organizations. Through MSD
Cares annual-giving campaign, we have an opportunity to
make a difference in our community and around the world.”

Storage basins will enhance the quality of local waterwaysStorage basins are part of MSD’s larger endeavor to prevent
sewage from overflowing into Louisville’s waterways.
Planned basins throughout our city are designed to
capture rainwater and sewage, which otherwise can
overwhelm the sewer system during rain events and flow
untreated into our waterways. These basins retain the
mixture of rainwater and sewage until the rain subsides
and capacity is available, then gradually release it back
into the sewer system. At that point, the water is conveyed
to a water quality treatment center, treated and returned
to our local streams or the Ohio River.
Rowan CSO Storage Basin—conceptual design phase
This underground-covered basin is planned for the Rowan
Street area. The interceptor route will be along Main Street
between 4th and 10th streets. The basin will offer the
public and the Ohio River protection from combined sewer
overflows during periods of heavy rain. Input from future
public meetings will help to determine the specific details
and aesthetics of the completed project.
Portland CSO Storage Basin—conceptual design phase
This underground-covered basin will be located in the
Lannan Park area. The basin will offer the public and the
Ohio River protection from combined sewer overflows
during periods of heavy rain. A public meeting to gain input
from the neighbors will take place on January 26, 2016,
6:30 pm at Neighborhood House, 201 N 25th Street.
Camp Taylor Sewer Rehabilitation Project enters final phaseThe construction contract for sewer rehabilitation in the
Camp Taylor area bounded by Taylor Avenue to the north,
Lee Avenue to the east, Cardinal Drive to the south and
Reservoir Avenue to the west has been approved. The
completion date for the entire Camp Taylor suite of projects
is December 31, 2017.
A large portion of the Camp Taylor neighborhood sanitary
sewers dates back to the early 1900s, when sewer lines were
built to serve the Camp Taylor U.S. Army training facilities.
Residential development took over the area after these
training facilities were closed. The greater part of this
development was undertaken without consistent planning
Southwestern Parkway CSO Storage Basin—
conceptual design phase
This underground-covered basin will offer the public and
the Ohio River protection from combined sewer overflows
during periods of heavy rain. The next public meeting
concerning this project is 6:30 PM on December 14 at
The Academy @Shawnee, 4001 Herman Street.

ProjectWIN.org/PublicInput.
or today’s sewer design guidelines. The results—lines that are
too small, lines that run below structures and single property
service connections with more than one hookup—which
cause capacity related sewer overflows during rain events.
Completion of the Camp Taylor project will result in:
l Decrease sanitary sewer overflows and backups into
homes during rain events
l Update the sewer system to current standards through
replacement or rehabilitation
l Disconnect sump pumps, downspouts, yard drains and
catch basins that are discharging groundwater/stormwater
into the sanitary sewer system
l Rehabilitate sewer pipes and manholes allowing
groundwater or stormwater to enter sanitary sewers

I want to thank a delightful customer service rep, Charlotte
Whitfield-Baker, who helped me get some information
about an MSD project on my street. Not only was she
pleasant to speak with, but she did a really thorough job
researching the project and following through.

Larry Gardner, Dwayne Patton, Travis Westmoreland
and Denzil Whalin Sr. came out to repair a catch basin in

Honoring our veteransMSD recognized its 65 current employees who have served
—or are now serving—in the United States armed forces
during a ceremony on Veterans Day. The event, at MSD’s
Central Maintenance Facility, was held after normal work
shifts ended and was funded by donations from MSD
management and staff. Executive Director Tony Parrott
expressed his thanks to Paul “Duke” Edwards, Lopez High
and Dennis Thomasson for their leadership in organizing
these events. MSD is proud of, and grateful for, its employees
who have sacrificed through their U.S. military service.

Pouring fats, oils and grease down your drain (left) can result in a sewer pipe that looks like this (center). Properly dispose of fats, oils and grease in the trash (right) to prevent clogging your sewer line.
How to avoid a clogged pipel All food should be scraped and wiped off plates, trays,
pots, pans, utensils, grills and cooking surfaces, and then
properly disposed of in the trash. This will prevent buildup
and clogging of sewer lines.
l Sink strainers should be used to catch loose food debris,
which should be discarded in the trash.
l Grease waste should never be poured into the outside
storm sewer or catch basins. This can travel straight to a
stream and harm aquatic life, or it can clog sewer pipes
that lead to a water quality treatment center.
l Fats, oils or grease should not be poured down sinks or toilets.
