Power outages lead to loss of water Affects Caveland, Green River customers Glasgow Daily TimesThe Barren River District Health Department released a statement saying that operators of businesses affected should contact the department to arrange an inspection prior to reopening.
David Burton, environmental supervisor with the department, added that ice in ice machines at hotels that use the water should also be discarded and the ice bins sanitized. Hotels should also make plans to receive ice from an approved source located outside the affected emergency area. People in the Hart County emergency area still have another problem on their hands: many are without power, mainly customers using Farmer’s Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation and Kentucky Utilities, McDaniel said. Jerry Carter, with Farmer’s RECC, was not available for comment at press time because he was out assessing the situation. William Ray, superintendent of Glasgow Electric Plant Board, said the utility has no power outages at this time. “The only customers not served right now are cable and Internet users out on the fringes where it’s powered by Farmer’s,” Ray said. “Our customers out there have power. We’ve been in contact with Farmer’s and they’re going to allow us to work with our customers so we can fix that problem.” The cleanup process for the counties is ongoing. With power lines still down and some ice on the roads, counties might expect federal help soon. President Obama an-nounced federal emergency aid has been made available for Kentucky to help supplement state and local response efforts in the areas hit by the winter storm. Assistance is available for several counties, including Barren, Hart and Metcalfe. The counties have been getting work done with the help of local fire departments and volunteers. “Our volunteers have done a tremendous job,” McDaniel said. “It’ll be a slow process, but they’re working really hard. Everybody’s needs will be met and we ask for patience through this emergency.”
