Knott County residents got some welcome news yesterday after days of water shortages throughout the county. Several county departments have been working for days to restore water to residents after a combination of problems left wells in several parts of the county dry. Yesterday officials said things are looking much better for the counties residents. County officials say drinking water was being distributed throughout the Knott county yesterday afternoon after the water was donated by the Winchester Dairy Farms and delivered by the Appalachian Christian Project. They say there will be mobile water stations set up at Carr Creek Volunteer Fire Department, the American Legion Building in Hindman, and the Carrie Community Center. Officials say a BOIL WATER ADVISORY is in effect until further notice for all tap water.
