PSC Rules On Magoffin County Water

KENTUCKY...
The Kentucky Public Service Commission has ordered the Magoffin County Water District to take steps to ensure customers can run their faucets during droughts.

Magoffin County Water District, which serves nearly 3,500 customers, purchases water from the Salyersville Water Works, which draws its supply primarily from the Licking River.

A severe drought in late summer of 2008 reduced the stream to a trickle, leaving Salyersville and Magoffin Water without an adequate water supply.

The PSC on Wednesday ordered Magoffin County to take steps necessary to purchase water from the city of Paintsville and from the Morgan County Water District. Failure to do so could result in Magoffin County water commissioners being fined or removed from office.
