The Water Department of the Frankfort Plant Board advises to boil the water before drinking or using it for cooking. The advisory is in effect for the following area:
• 120 to 108 Schenkel Ln
• Allnut Dr
• 588, 592, 614, 616, 662, 664, 676, 670 East Main St.
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 a contractor damaging the water main.
This Advisory will remain in effect until lab analysis of water samples taken confirms that the potable water supply in the effected area is safe to drink. You will receive a notice when this advisory is lifted.
If you have any questions concerning the Boil Water Advisory please call 352-4372 or 352- 4433.
Due to a gas company hitting a water line, FPB is currently experiencing a water outage for approximately 50 customers in the Schenkel Ln., Fairway Dr., Allnut Dr., and portions of E. Main St. area.

“These options may enable FPB to reduce power costs ”
Because of extensive changes proposed by KU, Frankfort’s current wholesale energy supplier, FPB worked with industry experts to investigate other power supply alternatives. FPB, along with their consultants, have determined there are several viable power supply options. FPB Chair Ralph Ludwig explained how this decision could have multiple positive results. “These options may enable FPB to reduce power costs to our community and provide a more diversified power supply portfolio which will reduce our exposure to future carbon or other environmental legislation.”
Consequently, FPB has decided to provide KU with the contractually required five year notice of termination letter, allowing FPB to retain its ability to secure a different power provider.
