Public Education

MSD’s RMS strives to make the public aware of the goals and function of the Pretreatment Program. Efforts have been made to educate local IUs regarding compliance with regulations. RMS publishes The Streamline, a periodic pretreatment newsletter and hosts periodic seminars on pertinent topics. In addition, MSD is an active member of Greater Louisville Inc., - The Metro Chamber of Commerce, the agency responsible for economic development activities in Louisville and Jefferson County. RMS staff routinely attend several committee meetings and make presentations on pretreatment related topics. In addition, MSD has allowed local IUs to be involved in the development of the local limits and the revisions to MSD’s Wastewater Discharge Regulations. MSD also strives to recognize industries which make commendable efforts to bring their facilities into compliance. These industries have been recognized with Pretreatment Awards and with articles in Business First, a local weekly business newspaper. MSD has also made efforts to educate local dischargers regarding Pollution Prevention (P2) practices.
