Owen
looks at water issues
As
Fayette County prepares to buy Kentucky American
Should the city of Lexington be successful in purchasing Kentucky
American Water, Owen County would be interested in purchasing
the portion of the company currently located here.
But Owen County probably couldn’t buy back the water
lines that Kentucky American owns here. During the last several
years, the Lexington-based water company has purchased the
Tri-Village Water District, the Elk Lake Water District, and
most recently, the Owenton Water District.
Prepared
for any emergency
Emergency
management plans for every contingency
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) weather channel picture changes. Weather radio beeps.
Telephones ring. The Owenton Emergency Management inner office
is a study in organized banks of information: computers, files,
equipment and two men.
One of the county’s two ambulances is taking a patient
outside the county. Emergency Management must provide another
person for the other ambulance to run.
Water
to be shut off Saturday
Water
will be shut off for a short time Saturday along Hwy. 22 east
of the schools. The shutdown is required in order to relocate
some water lines and a hydrant in that area. The shutdown
will begin at 9 a.m. and will last for approximately three
to four hours.
Angels
needed
More than 2,000 years ago, wise men gave gifts to a babe born
in a manger, gifts that would be used to finance a journey
to Egypt that would save his life.
During the 2005 Christmas season, local residents are invited
to give gifts to the youngest members of this community, gifts
that will make a difference in their lives.
