HWU will be smoke testing the Clay and Dixon Street areas from Green Street to the river starting at 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. tomorrow, October 16, 2019. Prior to smoke testing, it is important that homeowners run water in all plumbing fixtures to fill traps. A dry trap will allow smoke to enter a home. Breaks in internal plumbing, not uncommon in older homes, can also allow smoke to enter the home. The artificial smoke is non-toxic, non-staining, and quickly dissipates, but it can be mistaken for smoke from a fire, especially if it inadvertently enters a home. Emergency services will respond to any calls of smoke in the area effected. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the HWU offices at 270.826.2421.

Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) have been spotted on the upper Ohio River, between Louisville and Cincinnati. HWU is monitoring the condition of the Ohio River here, and found the algae shown in the photo near the Hayes Boat Ramp. These algae tested negative (no presence) for microcystin, which is a component of HABs.
While this sample was negative, conditions on the River can change rapidly. Recreational users on the Ohio should use extreme caution and avoid contact with any suspect waters. Swimmers in water containing cyanobacterial toxins may suffer allergic reactions, such as asthma, eye irritation, rashes, and blisters around the mouth and nose. Animals, birds, and fish can also be poisoned by high levels of toxin-producing cyanobacteria. HABs can also occur in ponds and streams, under the hot, dry conditions we’ve experienced recently.

Henderson is a “Combined Sewer System” community. In the older parts of the city, we have combined sewers that channel both sanitary and stormwater to the wastewater treatment plant when it rains. In newer parts of the city, we have a separate storm sewer system.
