Drink Like a Local on National Hydration Day

Slugger field bottle fill stationSummer officially kicked off over the weekend and we’re turning up the heat this week with temperatures in the 90s! It’s important to stay hydrated year-round, but it’s especially important to fuel your body with water as you sweat more in the hotter weather.


National Hydration Day happens every June 23 and it’s a perfect time to remind you of all the benefits of drinking Louisville Pure Tap® fresh from the faucet.

  • Drink before you’re thirsty. By the time you feel thirsty, your body has lost up to five cups of water.
  • Drink regularly if you’re working in the heat. Drink one cup (8 oz.) every 15-20 minutes.
  • Drink water when sweating. Anytime you sweat, your body is losing water. Hydrate before, during, and after exercise.

Louisville Water makes it easy for you to quench your thirst with Pure Tap around town too! You’ll find hydration stations located at dozens of places throughout the community.
