Henderson County Water District has issued a boil water advisory for the Baskett community
Henderson County Water District said it is undertaking necessary repairs for a water main break in Baskett. The water main break is in the same location as a break that occurred in May.
Henderson County Water District Superintendent Mark Julian said late Monday morning that the water main break was repaired earlier in the day, but there was a second point of failure adjacent to the previous repair. Water service is expected to be interrupted for the exact same area to make necessary repairs.
Julian said he estimates that the work could take anywhere between six to eight hours, or possibly longer.
As a precaution, a boil water advisory has been issued for the following areas in Baskett: from the intersection of Kentucky 1078-N on Dr. Hodge Road to the end of Dr. Hodge Road at Tscharner Road. This includes Baskett Alley Road, Church Street, Maple Street, Carson Drive, Railroad Street, First Avenue, and Second Street.
Work is ongoing and when water service is restored, these areas will be under a boil water advisory until further notice. Please boil all water used for human consumption to a rolling boil for 3-5 minutes.
The estimated time that the boil water advisory will be in effect is subject to satisfactory bacteriological testing. A second notice will be issued when the BWA is lifted.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Henderson County Water District at 270-826-9802.
