Livingston County had an estimate population of 9,339 (4,025 households) in 1999; projected population is 9,252 (4,398 households) in 2020. Public water is provided to over 3,200 households, or 82 percent of the county's residents. In areas not served by public water, about five of eight households use wells and the rest use other sources. Nearly 460 households will be added to public water service through new line extensions from 2000 to 2020. If all proposed water-line extensions are made, about 10 percent of the county will still rely on private water supplies in the year 2020. The Water Resource Development Commission has prepared a report on water-supply infrastructure in Livingston 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 Livingston County for which data are
available is shown on the map
