Interruption of Water Service

On Monday 04/7/14 there will be an interruption of water service from 8:30 A.M. until 10:00 P.M. in the following areas:

• Elizabeth St
• Patricia St from Elizabeth St to Butler St
• 935 & 941 Georgetown Rd

Immediately following there will be a Boil Water Advisory.

A vigorous boil for at least two minutes is recommended. This Boil Water Advisory is a precautionary measure due to a loss of pressure in the water main caused by Plant Board crews disconnecting the old water main.

This Advisory will remain in effect until lab analysis of water samples taken confirms that the potable water supply in the affected area is safe to drink. You will receive a notice when the advisory is lifted.

If you have any questions concerning the Boil Water Advisory, please call 352-4372 or 352-4433

Viacom Negotiations Wrapping Up

“FPB should get the final terms of the agreement from Viacom and the NCTC sometime later this week.”

The long negotiation process between Viacom and FPB’s representatives at the National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC) has ended. The negotiations wrapped up Tuesday.

FPB should get the final terms of the agreement from Viacom and the NCTC sometime later this week. Then, the FPB Board of Directors will consider the offer and make a decision to accept the deal, under the negotiated terms, or to not accept the terms and remove the networks from the FPB Cable lineup.

Until a final decision is made by the FPB Board of Directors, the 18 Viacom networks will continue to air on the FPB Cable lineup.

Negotiations are moving forward and the latest extension now runs until 6:00 PM EDT, April 1, 2014.

Shore Acres Rd. Boil Water Advisory Canceled

The boil water advisory issued yesterday for Shore Acres Rd from 357 Shore Acres Rd to the end of the line, has now been canceled.

The Water Department of the Frankfort Plant Board is notifying you that the Division of Water of the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection has now canceled the Boil Water Advisory.

This Advisory was issued 3/30/14 due to the loss of pressure in the water main caused by Plant Board crews repairing a water main break.

The streets affected were:

Shore Acres Rd from 357 Shore Acres Rd to the end of the line.

If you should have any questions or problems with normal service or water quality please call 352-4372 or 352-4433.

Viacom Update 3-31-14

FPB continues to actively negotiate with Viacom and remain hopeful to reach an agreement before midnight 3/31.

We hope Viacom does not pull their signal as they have threatened.  Viacom is asking for an increase in fees of 40 times the rate of inflation.  Significant channel fee increases impact your bill and we’re on your side to keep these fees low. Please visit www.TVOnMySide.com for updates.

March 30

Frankfort Plant Board has been impacted by actions of Viacom today that have disrupted service. It is regrettable that Viacom has decided to drag our loyal customers into the negotiation with disruption of service and misinformation while we remain under an agreement until 11:59 pm EDT on March 31. 2014. Please know that we continue negotiations and the decision to lose the Viacom services rests squarely with Viacom. To learn more and stay on top of the facts please visit http://TVOnMySide.com.
