Kentucky Water Heroes

When the weather gets dry, every drop counts! Water Conservation is key to preventing water shortages, and the decisions of individual citizens every day can make the difference between a community having enough and running out.

A Water Hero is someone who commits to find ways to save water and help their community be resilient to water shortages. We are looking for leaders in the community to take charge of their water bill and improve water efficiency in their home.

Kentucky Water Heroes pledge to "conserve water every day, use it wisely, not waste it." They are making a plan and taking action to lower their water use.

Tour the map below to see what people across the state are doing to protect water for all people in the Commonwealth, then scroll on to the Pledge Campaign to become an official Kentucky Water Hero!
