Presented by Kelley Dearing Smith A Greek-style pumping station and a towering structure with Corinthian columns. All built for water? In the 1800s, the founders of Louisville Water Company were marketing a product not many used and even fewer saw the value: a safe, reliable supply of drinking water. Learn how Louisville moved from being coined the "graveyard of the West" to the city with the "best-tasting tap water in America." Kelley Dearing-Smith, Communications & Government Relations Director for Louisville Water will share the fascinating history of Louisville Water with stories, memorabilia, film and photos. You'll never look at a glass of water the same way again!
