Oldham County had an estimated population of 41,143 (14,209 households) in 1999; projected population is 52,612 (18,453 households) in 2020. Public water is provided to about 93 percent of the residents. In areas not served by public water, slightly fewer than half the households use wells and the remainder use other sources. About 30 households will be added to public water service through new line extensions from 2000 to 2020. If all the proposed water-line extensions are made, about 7 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 Oldham 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
