Warren County had an estimated population of 83,215 (34,918 households) in 1999; projected population is 94,716 (42,741 households) in 2020. Population studies indicate steady growth in Warren County. Almost 98 percent of the county is currently served by public water systems. Sixty-five percent of those not on public water use private wells. About 225 new households will be placed on public water through line extensions from 2000 to 2020. If all proposed water line extensions are made, about 1 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 the county. It is estimated that there are over 200,000 water wells in Kentucky.

The locations of wells and springs in the county for which data are available is shown on the map of wells and springs in the county.
