FPB to livestream FCHS and WHHS graduation ceremonies

/

The Frankfort Plant Board will livestream the Franklin County Schools' graduation ceremonies taking place at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington tomorrow on Facebook Live. 

For years, the local high schools have held graduation here in Frankfort at the civic center, but have had to move the ceremonies out of town after the civic center was demolished. In case out of town travel is difficult for some, FPB feels it is important to make the ceremonies accessible to folks who aren't able to make it there. 

FPB's Facebook page will live stream the Franklin County High School graduation ceremony tomorrow at 4:30 p.m.

FPB's Facebook page will live stream the Western Hills High School graduation ceremony tomorrow at 7:30 p.m.

FPB Hydrant Flushing - 5/25/18

Hydrant flushing is necessary to maintain the integrity and quality of the distribution system and to ensure hydrants are functioning properly. This will also allow FPB to obtain firefighting flow information, which is shared with city and county fire departments. 

We ask that motorist please use caution in the flushing area due to possible water in the roadway. Some discoloration may occur in your tap water. This is normal. If discoloration persists after running your faucet for a short time, please call 352-4372.

We will be flushing hydrants in the following areas on 5/25/18:

Berry Hill

Pea Ridge

Leewood

Tierra Linda

Inverness Rd.
