There has been a lot of discussion about Louisville’s proposed sewer project. Here are the facts:
❌ FICTION: Louisville lost $2.2 million on a failed sewer project.
✅ FACT: The $2.2 million was a Blount County grant, not Town of Louisville money. When the original sewer project could not move forward due to insufficient regional wastewater treatment capacity, Blount County and South Blount Utility District, at the request of Mayor Jill Pugh, redirected the funds to upgrade water mains on Mentor Road within Louisville.
❌ FICTION: The Town spent its $600,000 in ARPA funds on the sewer project.
✅ FACT: The Town’s approximately $600,000 was not spent on the sewer project. It remains invested in an LGIP account and had grown to $695,588.49 as of July 31, 2026.
❌ FICTION: The Town agreed to build its own sewer plant.
✅ FACT: In August 2024, Jesus Yanez offered up to five acres for the Town to consider a potential sewer plant serving the commercial corridor. The Board of Mayor & Alderman unanimously voted to obtain updated costs and provide area businesses information about a possible private sewer system.
That was an agreement to explore an option—not to build a sewer plant.
➡️ No land was transferred.
➡️ No property agreement was signed.
➡️ No agreement committing the Town to construct a sewer plant was executed.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
💧 The $2.2 million was redirected to Louisville water infrastructure.
💰 The Town’s $600,000 remains invested and has grown in value.
📋 The alternative sewer proposal was explored, but no land transfer or construction agreement occurred.
Know the facts. Follow the timeline. Follow the money.

Poland Creek Campground Improvements Moving Forward
The Town of Louisville is moving forward with improvements to Poland Creek Campground and Recreation Area through a $100,000 Tourism Enhancement Grant from the State of Tennessee.
The project includes a new fishing pier, leveling campsites and gravel recreation areas, improvements around campsites, and reroofing and painting the existing bathhouse.
Kimley-Horn is currently finalizing the project’s engineering and design. The Aquatic Resource Alteration Permit (ARAP) has been submitted, and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is being prepared for submission. The Section 26a permitting process is continuing, with the 100% plan set expected to be provided to the Town for review in mid-September.
These improvements will help enhance one of Louisville’s most-used recreational areas while supporting outdoor recreation and tourism in our community.
Poland Creek is more than a recreational destination—it is part of what makes Louisville a place to call home.
Rankin Ferry Loop is now OPEN to all traffic.
Paving is complete, and the roadway has reopened for normal travel.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and cooperation while this work was completed. Please drive safely!
DID YOU KNOW? Food Trucks Have Requirements, too! Lots of requirements.
Food trucks are a fun and convenient way to enjoy great food, but operating a mobile food unit in Tennessee involves more than simply firing up the grill and opening the window! Before operating, food truck vendors must make sure they have the appropriate licenses, permits and inspections required by the State of Tennessee and other applicable jurisdictions.
✅ BUSINESS LICENSE/REGISTRATION
Food truck operators must maintain the appropriate business registration and, when applicable, county and/or municipal business licenses.
✅ HEALTH PERMIT & INSPECTION
Mobile food units that prepare and serve food must meet Tennessee food-safety requirements and obtain the appropriate food-service permit. This includes inspections addressing important areas such as proper food storage, preparation, handwashing, sanitation, temperature control and waste disposal.
✅ FIRE SAFETY INSPECTION/PERMIT
Mobile food units with applicable cooking, electrical or fuel equipment must meet Tennessee fire-safety requirements. Tennessee also offers an annual State Fire Marshal mobile food unit permit that demonstrates compliance with applicable fire and electrical safety standards.
✅ ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS MAY APPLY
Depending on where and how a food truck operates, additional state or local requirements may apply. Vendors are responsible for making sure all required licenses, permits and inspections are current before operating or participating in an event.
These requirements aren't just paperwork — they're designed to help protect food truck operators, their employees and, most importantly, the customers they serve.
