ICYMI, August is National Water Quality Month, so we’re feeling extra thankful for Louisville Pure Tap®, the high-quality, safe water that Louisville Water Co. provides to nearly one million people in our community.

Do you know your water, Louisville? Let’s find out:

  1. Our drinking water comes from the Ohio River.
  2. Louisville Water Co. first delivered drinking water to our community in 1860.
  3. Derby City has been recognized multiple times for having the best-tasting tap water in America, thanks to Pure Tap.
  4. Louisville Water has received zero water quality violations for 16 years in a row and counting. Maybe because scientists perform 200+ drinking water tests every day.
  5. The iconic 185-ft Louisville Water Tower, recognized as a National Historic Landmark, is undergoing major renovations and will reopen to visitors in 2024.
  6. For just a penny, you can fill up an 8-oz glass 107 times.

So sip back, relax, and refill your reusable bottles — this month and beyond — with our delicious local water.
