Officials Report Letcher County Water Still Unsafe
Tuesday (today), the Kentucky Division of Water announced it is working with Whitesburg Water Works to resolve the water problems in Letcher County. Officials say the water remains unsafe for anything but flushing toilets. An investigation has found damaged fuel storage tanks four miles upstream from the water plant intake. The tanks are leaking petroleum. Officials are still awaiting results from sample tests.
