Beat the heat: Fill your pool fast!

Summer is here, and for many that means spending time outdoors – grilling, biking, and taking a dip in the pool! Swimming pools offer excellent opportunities for both exercise and relaxation. Now is the time to fill your pool with Louisville Pure Tap™ if you have one.

Louisville Water provides temporary water meters for customers who want to use a hose connected to a fire hydrant to fill their pools. This is usually much faster than filling a pool with a garden hose connected to a residential faucet.


Apply for a temporary meter

To apply for a temporary meter, complete and return our Temporary Service Application.

  • Applications must be received by noon, at least one business day prior to pick-up.

Please note:

  • Locate a Louisville Water-owned hydrant near your house to attach the meter to.
  • You’ll need enough hose to reach the hydrant and meter
  • Keep an eye on the meter to make sure it isn’t stolen
