The Louisville Water Co. is expected to receive $4 million in federal stimulus dollars, money that the utility plans to use to cover part of the cost of a $20.5 million project to build a 36-inch water line along Interstate 64 from the Gene Snyder Freeway to the Jefferson County/Shelby County line.
The pipeline will provide more water to eastern Jefferson County, which has experienced rapid residential and commercial growth over the past 15 years.
The project also includes a pump station and storage tank to improve water pressure for Copperfield, Lake Forest, Eastwood and Long Run.
The total project is expected to create 164 jobs.
