Louisville Water has provided us with an important update for Louisville residents. Please read below:

"Louisville Water has been experiencing quite a few buried and damaged meters during the last few months.  This not only delays meter readings, but results in a higher bill for customers when the reading is finally collected and the account is trued up.   Last year language was added to our service rules allowing for Louisville Water to charge for having to readjust or repair vaults, lids, and meter appurtenances.   In an effort to avoid this, I am reaching out to the meter applicants to inform them of the issues we are experiencing in an effort to hopefully remedy the situation, however if we continue to have repeat offenders we will have move forward to assessing charges.  As a reminder to developers and builders, the yard area is to be at final grade when they apply for service.  Below are a couple pictures of recent issues."

The annual Louisville Home, Garden & Remodeling Show produced by the Building Industry of Greater Louisville and powered by LG&E will be held at the Kentucky Exposition Center the weekend of July 30th, 31st and August 1st, 2021.

The longest-running Home Show in the region will be celebrating its 73rd year!

Normally held in the spring, the event dates were adjusted to ensure the safety for all participants. While the show will still be held at the Kentucky Exposition Center, it will be held in a different exhibit hall that will allow easy access to outdoor space.

Juva Barber, BIA of Greater Louisville’s Executive Vice President, “We, like almost everyone, have had to adjust our events. This year’s Home, Garden, and Remodeling Show is no exception. As the longest running Home Show in the region, we felt it was important for us to ensure that the show goes on not only to support our industry but to support our community.

While there are many changes in this year’s show - our guests will still be able to experience beautifully built displays, custom demos, as well as access to trusted industry professionals onsite to answer all your questions.”

Whether you need a small space remodel, gutters, roofing, or a full paint job – the Home, Garden & Remodeling show has everything a homeowner could dream of in one place. Tickets for the public will go on sale online soon! We will follow all current CDC guidelines in place at the time of the event. by the governor to keep our members, exhibitors, staff, and the public safe and healthy.
