| Water Use | ||
|
The county's estimated population was 13,000 (5,024 households) in 1999; projected population is 14,540 (6,205 households) in 2020. Public water is provided to about 85 percent of the residents. In areas not served by public water, about 70 percent of the households use wells and 30 percent use other sources. If all the proposed water line extensions are made, virtually 100 percent of the county will be served by public water in the year 2020. The Water Resource Development Commission has prepared a report on water-supply infrastructure in the county. It is estimated that there are over 200,000 water wells in Kentucky.
The Kentucky Groundwater Data Repository, maintained by the Kentucky
Geological Survey, has information on over 50,000 of these wells. The
locations of wells and springs in the county for which data are available
is shown on the map
