Neighbor helping neighbor

Help keep the water flowing for your neighbor by contributing a tax-deductible donation to Drops of Kindness. It’s simple, and every contribution — no matter the size — is valued during this challenging time.

Please also help us spread the word about Drops of Kindness to anyone you know who may benefit from the program. 

Unprecedented moment in our history

As COVID-19 entered our community in early 2020, we realized the critical importance water plays in reducing the spread of the virus. In March, Louisville Water became one of the first utilities across the U.S. to suspend turn offs for non-payment. 

We hope Drops of Kindness will help address financial burdens for customers in stressful situations.
