Louisville Water operates two water treatment plants with two sources. The Crescent Hill Water Treatment Plant treats water that is pumped from the Ohio River. The B.E. Payne Water Treatment Plant treats groundwater collected from the surrounding aquifer through a process called Riverbank Filtration. The first step in providing high-quality drinking water to our customers is protecting these natural resources. Louisville Water maintains a robust source water protection program to monitor and prevent contamination of these vital sources.
Louisville Water offers several resources to assist our customers in source water education and protection efforts:
- Source Water Assessment and Protection Plan
- Wellhead Protection Plan
- Homeowner's Guidebook of Native Plants, Integrated Pest Management, and Pollution Prevention
- Pocket Field Guides for native plants and animals
