Have you ever wondered how wastewater travels from your home to our treatment plant? 💧

At Lexington Utilities, our wastewater system relies on lift stations and gravity working together to ensure safe and efficient wastewater management. Take a look at this example video to see how the journey happens behind the scenes and learn more about the system that serves our community every day!

After 19 years of dedication, hard work, and keeping us all laughing along the way, Lexington Utilities Water Systems employee Jimmy Jowers is officially retiring. 💦

To know Jimmy is to love him. From being a Dancing with the Stars champion to being one of the funniest, warmest people you could ever meet, Jimmy has made a lasting impact on everyone lucky enough to work alongside him. More importantly, he has done an incredible job serving our community and leading his department with pride and heart.

While we are sad to see him go, we could not be happier for him as he begins this next chapter enjoying time with family and friends.

Thank you for everything, Jimmy J. Lexington Utilities is better because of you, and you will be greatly missed. 💙

This week, Lexington Utilities was honored to partner with the Henderson County Fire Dept after being invited to participate in their educational outreach program for second grade students across Henderson County. We truly appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with their department and be part of such a meaningful experience for the students in our community.

Throughout the week, our team visited county schools alongside Henderson County Fire Department personnel to help educate students about fire safety, natural gas safety, and the importance of our local water system and infrastructure. It was a wonderful opportunity to engage with students, answer questions, and teach them more about the essential services that help keep our community safe and running each day.

We are incredibly grateful to the Henderson County Fire Department for including Lexington Utilities in this program and allowing us to work together to educate and connect with the next generation. Thank you to all of the schools, teachers, and especially the students who welcomed us so warmly. We had an amazing time meeting so many wonderful kids throughout our community.

🟡 Did you know natural gas is odorless? Odorant is added before being distributed, which gives it a distinct "rotten egg" scent. If you detect traces of this scent, you may have a leak and will need to contact Lexington Utilities at 731-968-5213 for assistance. 🟡
