Make an impactful splash this Water Week

Kentucky may be landlocked, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know what it means to make a splash in the community.

Thanks to the support of 90,000 miles of surface rivers and waterways across the state, our access to water is abundant. Now, it’s time to pay it forward.

The City of Lexington, along with local community and civic organizations, will host the fourth annual Water Week Saturday, March 18- Saturday, March 25. Programming will focus on one core value: protect the water that fuels so much of our everyday.
