More than a decade after intense flash flooding throughout Louisville’s central core, southern and western portions, one of the hardest hit areas in the West End—the California Neighborhood—is celebrating the creation of a 20-acre park.

University of Louisville researchers say the current surge of COVID-19 cases in the city has revealed that testing wastewater samples provided by Louisville MSD is the most reliable way to track the presence of the disease in the community.

Until recently, a good steady or heavy rain may have resulted in a sewer overflow – where the volume of rainwater exceeds the sewer system capacity, combines with wastewater and overflows into the Ohio River and other area streams.

Louisville MSD has converted a key downtown corner to a visual oasis with the completion of a new building-sized mural.
