Water main leak in Edmonson County

EDMONSON COUNTY, Ky. – Over the past three days, Edmonson County has been having some trouble with their water.

Today, the Edmonson County Water District had a footlong water main break that led to low pressure and outages in many areas on the south side of the county.

According to ECWD, there are around 2,300 customers having some sort of water issue right now, but they’re working as quickly as they can to rectify any problems. The manager suspects it could be weather-related. With the lack of rainfall this season, this could be an unforeseen side effect.

Tony Sanders, manager for the ECWD, told News 40 that he thinks it’s possible the rain impacted the situation in some way. Currently, teams are working to restore full service as late as Friday. Sanders just asks that the community try to be patient with them.
