Tens of thousands of music lovers will flock to the parking lot areas of the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center. Bourbon & Beyond returns Thursday with a big lineup, including The Lumineers, Phish, Foreigner, Noah Kahan, and Benson Boone. And Louisville Water is ready to hydrate all those fans with award-winning Louisville Pure Tap®!
Days before the singers and bands performed sound checks, Louisville Water was doing Pure Tap checks.
On Monday morning, Distribution Water Quality Specialist Bruce Pruitt visited the fairgrounds to test chlorine levels, the turbidity which means how clear the water appears, and other factors that could affect the water quality.
“We’ll make sure those are in good range,” Pruitt said.
Hydration will be key as summer-like temperatures return just in time for the four-day music festival. While it won’t be as hot as last year, it’s still important to stay hydrated even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Louisville Water has made it easy for you to fill, drink, and repeat from a lineup of hydration stations. Pruitt’s field tests ensure only high-quality Pure Tap is flowing.
“All sample sites passed. The main purpose (of our tests) is to make sure we have the same high-quality water at each site as we do coming out of the (treatment) plant and throughout the system,” he said.
While Pruitt doesn’t plan to attend the concerts, his work behind the scenes helps set the stage to accommodate those who do.
“I was just one of hundreds of people doing their part to get the site ready for this huge event,” he said humbly.
Louisville Water encourages you to enjoy Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life safely. We recommend two Pure Taps for every adult beverage.
Pure Tap pro-tip: Pack your empty, reusable bottle. No glass or metal bottles are allowed. Hit the hydration stations, snap a pic, and tag us on social! @LouisvilleWater
ICYMI: Your B&B and LTL passes also provide entry to Kentucky Kingdom. You’ll find Pure Tap hydration stations around the park to quench your thirst.
