Collection Overview

Biography / History
Gilbert H. King, William Preston, and R. H. S. Preston organized the Lexington Hydraulic and Manufacturing Company in 1882. The company dug four reservoirs in Lexington between 1884 and 1903 and opened its water works in Lexington in 1885. In 1922, it became the Lexington Water Company and took its current name, Kentucky American Water, in 1973. The company serves portions of 14 Kentucky counties, including Bourbon, Clark, Fayette, Franklin, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Jackson, Jessamine, Nicholas, Owen, Rockcastle, Scott and Woodford.
