Kentuckians now have new tools to help protect the waterways that connect their communities.

A $4,455 grant awarded by the Louisville Water Foundation in 2025 helped the Kentucky Waterways Alliance (KWA) create educational materials for waterway cleanups and other environmental events across the Commonwealth.
Over the past year, the materials have supported local watershed protection by helping community members better understand the interconnected nature of watersheds while providing strategies that support watershed health, said Meg Kelly, KWA Interim Executive Director.
The organization used the funding to develop several print and digital resources, including a Watershed Conservation Pocket Guide, an Environmental Resource Guide, and a Louisville Recycling Guide.

Kelly said the resources turn greater awareness into action. They address watershed concerns and help turn inquiries into strategies for local watershed conservation in communities across Louisville Water Company’s service area and beyond.
Louisville Water is highlighting KWA’s work during Source Water Protection Week as an example of how the Foundation supports local partners working to safeguard the sources of the region’s drinking water. Those partnerships help protect water quality and support safe, great-tasting drinking water for everyone.
