In the bottoms of the Salt, Dix, and Kentucky Rivers, most drilled wells will produce enough water for a domestic supply at depths of less than 100 feet. In the larger creek and river valleys, and a limited area between Harrodsburg and Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, wells will produce enough water for a domestic supply, except during dry weather. In upland areas (65 percent of the county), most drilled wells will not produce enough water for a dependable domestic supply. Some wells along drainage lines may produce enough water, except during dry weather. Throughout the county, groundwater is hard or very hard and may contain salt or hydrogen sulfide, especially at depths greater than 100 feet. |
