Louisville Will Use InfoWorks CS for Sewer Upgrade

11/06/2008

To address the challenges of improving water quality, the Louisville and Jefferson County Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) in Kentucky has embarked on a comprehensive sewer improvement program that will greatly mitigate sewage overflows throughout Louisville Metro during wet weather.

Louisville, Kentucky's largest city, bound by the Ohio River, is sited on the Kentucky-Indiana border and is famous as the home of the Kentucky Derby. The new initiative is called 'Project WIN' (Waterway Improvements Now). Planned upgrades under Project WIN will allow the area to comply with Clean Water Act regulations.

Justin Gray, an MSD Senior Technical Services Engineer, says that the work is being carried out to comply with a US EPA consent decree, as is the case for many large cities in the USA. "The aim is to eliminate large sanitary sewer overflows and combined sewer overflows - we might do on-site treatment, plant expansions, diversion of pipes in areas of overflow, storage basins, add more green infrastructure such as barrels and green roofs and pervious pavements."

Water Management in Eastern England

The eastern part of England also is partly reclaimed from the sea, centuries ago. The marshlands now are a valuable agricultural area. Of course, maintenance is needed to keep the water where it belongs and at the same time making it work. This video explains the 'how' of it by the Water Management Alliance, showing pumps, dedicated machines and ways of working with water.
