LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The KFC Yum! Center expanded its partnership with Louisville Water Company to improve sustainability efforts.
The arena in downtown Louisville has partnered with Louisville Water since 2010. According to a news release Monday, the KFC Yum! Center added six water refill stations that includes a message about the quality of Louisville's drinking water.
The new initiative allows guests to bring an empty, clear, reusable bottle into the arena and fill the bottle up at one of the six stations. The water stations are located on the upper and main concourses.
"These new refill stations represent a crucial step forward in our efforts to provide more sustainable options for our fans, while also improving their overall event experience," Eric Granger, general manager of the KFC Yum! Center, said in a news release. "This puts us closer to an important goal within ASM Global Acts to reduce single use plastic consumption at our venues. This is just one example of how we can work together to create a more environmentally friendly venue for our community.”
Kelley Dearing Smith, a spokesperson for the Louisville Water Company, said there are more than 120 branded bottle filling stations around the city.
