Johnson County had an estimated population of 24,193 (9,543 households) in 1999. Some 5,501 households (approximately 59%) were served by public water. The remainder relied primarily on wells. It is projected that the population of Johnson County will be 24,500 (10,672 households) in the year 2020. Proposed water line extensions from 2000 to 2020 will serve another 3,120 households in new areas, so that public water will be provided to about 88 percent of the county's population. 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 of wells and springs in Johnson County. A map of certified well drillers in Kentucky has been prepared by the Kentucky Division of Water. Previous--Next--Back to "Groundwater Resources in Kentucky"
