The City of Lexington’s annual Water Week is under way and runs through Saturday. More than 20 events are scheduled, including hikes, litter cleanups, watershed walks and more. Jennifer Myatt is an environmental initiatives specialist with the city. She said Lexington is unique for a city its size, because there’s not a big water body running through the middle of it. Instead, it was built around Town Branch Creek.
“We are a city that has a lot of creeks that run through our community. And like so many of the schools and so many people live somewhere where they have a creek in their backyard or creek behind their school or they live close to a park with a creek.”
