Published January 29, 2009 11:47 am - Downed power lines and loss of power in parts of Barren and Hart counties have led to boil water advisories. Power outages lead to loss of water Affects Caveland, Green River customers Glasgow Daily Times CAVE CITY — By AMBER DILLEY
and GINA KINSLOW Water systems are the latest victim of the winter storm that hit the area early this week. Caveland Environmental Authority has issued an emergency use only, boil water advisory for customers effective 11 a.m. Wednesday, until further notice. The main distribution center in Canmer, owned by Green River Valley Water, is without permanent power. Kerry McDaniel, Hart County emergency management director, said the county is under a districtwide water advisory. “If you are a member of Green River Valley Water, it’s a total advisory,” McDaniel said. “The Green River Valley main plant has been down and we have it back online temporarily, as of 6 a.m. We brought in emergency generators from Tennessee and equipment from Cincinnati to bring this plant back up and it will be a slow process, but there are gallons being fed into the line to serve the customers.” Customers served by Glasgow Water Company are not under an advisory, said Tony Richey, Barren County emergency management director. “The advisory is just for Caveland Water and Green Valley customers,” Richey said. “There’s one coffee place that’s closed in Glasgow because they use Caveland, but that’s all. The advisory doesn’t affect any customers using Glasgow water.” Scott Young, general manager of the Glasgow Water Company, added the company has not had any outages that have affected the water treatment plant operations. “We are still providing wholesale water to our wholesale water districts,” Young said. The company provides water to Caveland Environmental and Green River Valley Water districts. Glasgow Water Company is currently pumping water from a facility at Western Hills on Ky. 90 west of Glasgow. It is also pumping water to Cave City to fill the Cave City Volunteer Fire Department tanks, said Kevin Jandt, deputy chief of the department. “We should be good on fire protection as long as people don’t get carried away with water,” he said.
