In November 2024, the Louisville Metro Council passed ordinance R-123-24 asking the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) to create an inventory of public restrooms, handwashing stations, and drinking water fountains.
This map details the findings of Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness's survey of publically accessible Metro-owned drinking fountains. Facilities were \u201cpublic\u201d if anyone could access them. They must have been located in buildings or structures managed by the government, including leased spaces. Facilities were grouped within the same structure. Details include operational status, operating hours (by weekday), ADA accessibility, and other items.
The source data is publicly available and can be accessed here.
