LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Louisville Water Company has issued an update to its ongoing construction project.

One site will be just east of the entrance to Louisville Turners, Waldoah Beach Road, and Wagners Beach Road, with a second one near the Louisville Boat Club and the intersection of River Road and Blankenbaker Lane.
You can still get to the businesses and restaurants in the area, but may need to use a different route to get there.
In phases, Louisville Water is replacing a residual water line from the water tower to its treatment plant in Prospect, and the first phase started between Zorn Avenue and Blankenbaker Lane.

Despite detour signs alerting drivers that businesses in the area remain open, owners said some of the signs are misleading and have caused them to lose business.
