Fun fact: On Louisville Water’s 100th anniversary, President Neil Dalton and others gathered at the Pumping Station beside an 1860 water main, then invited guests to see a steam engine in action.

As the company celebrates a milestone anniversary, Louisville Water remains focused on the future — an attitude that has guided the organization’s growth for decades.

“In our 165-year history, we’ve always made decisions with the future in mind,” says CEO Spencer Bruce.

That future includes:

  • Expanding access through regional partnerships in Nelson and Hardin counties
  • Replacing century-old water mains, like those on Oak Street
  • Rolling out AI-powered tools to enhance customer service

...and more.

Curious about what else is on the horizon for Louisville Water?
