In some of the bottoms of the Kentucky River and Eagle Creek, most drilled wells will produce enough water for a domestic supply at depths of less than 100 feet. Some wells located in the smaller creek valleys and in some less productive areas along the Kentucky River and Eagle Creek will produce enough water for a domestic supply, except during dry weather. In upland areas of Owen County (80 percent of the county), most drilled wells will not produce enough water for a dependable domestic supply, unless they are drilled along drainage lines, in which case they may produce enough water except during dry weather. Groundwater in these areas is hard or very hard and may contain salt or hydrogen sulfide, especially at depths greater than 100 feet. |
