Letcher County Water Safe To Use
A non-consumption water advisory issued to Letcher County residents warning them to not to use water, except for flushing toilets, has been lifted. The advisory went out on Feburary 16th following the discovery of diesel oil seeping into the North Fork of the Kentucky River. The Department for Environmental Protection says a laboratory analysis at the Whitesburg plant now finds no measurable levels of diesel fuel in the water. The state has issued a notice of violation to Don Childers, owner of Childers Oil Inc.
