  • 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 replacing a broken valve and repairing a damaged water main.

Boil Water Advisory for Cedarcrest Ct. Cancelled - 11/2/15

/

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 11/1/15 due to the loss of pressure in the water main caused by Plant Board crews repairing a water main break.

The streets affected were:

  • Cedarcrest Ct
  • Ashwood Ct

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

Water Main Break - 1225 US 127 South - 11/2/15

/

The FPB Water Department is currently working on a water main break at 1225 US 127 South. Crews will be turning down valves and decreasing water pressure to try and repair the break without turning off water completely. This would avoid the possibility of a Boil Water Advisory. If they are unable to complete repairs in this fashion, a shutoff would then be required.
