MSD and Louisville Water remembered the Great Flood of 1937 on January 27, the 80th anniversary of the day the Ohio River reached its record high-water mark of 57.15 feet.

MSD Flood Protection Supervisor Dane Anderson hosted media outlets at Beargrass Creek Flood Pumping Station, discussing MSD's efforts to operate and maintain Louisville's aging Flood Protection System, which was built as a response to the Great Flood of 1937.
