The main contributors to the flow are stormwater runoff and wastewater treatment plant discharge. There are no significant tributaries or dams in the immediate area. Seasonal trends show higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and spring rains, and lower flows in the summer and fall. The hydrology of this area is affected by urbanization and development, which can result in flash flooding during heavy rainfall. An interesting fact is that the Mill Creek was once used as a source of drinking water for the city of Louisville in the 19th century, but pollution and contamination led to its abandonment as a water source.
