The Ohio River is expected to keep rising until Wednesday when it is predicted to crest at 55.4 feet in Cincinnati.

Louisville's flood protection infrastructure keeps the Ohio River at bay, and has already pumped billions of gallons of stormwater out of the city.

The pumping station sends flood water outside of the levy and flood wall system. MSD currently has seven flood pumping stations in active service. MSD monitors the water levels of the Ohio River throughout the year, but the river typically floods between January and May.
