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. @LouisvilleMSD 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.

msdSafe, clean waterways
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.
