I also grew up in Louisville, KY (the East End, near Bowman Field) and to the
best of my recollection that big artificial lake at the Crescent Hill pumping
station was the "Resevwar".  ("r" on both ends but not in the middle).

P.S. Someone on this list mentioned "Nabany"  (the town across the river from
Louisville).  I can recall several variations of the name "New Albany" but I
cannot recall any that did not have four syllables.
