Water Update: Lake George and Your Water Bill

Lake George on Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023

With plenty of rainfall in recent weeks, drought conditions have subsided across Kentucky yet drinking water in Marion remains a concern. For now, though, Lake George is at its highest level since back in the spring when its levee was purposely breeched in order to prevent a dam failure. 

Lean what those abbreviations and figures
mean on your monthly water/sewer bill.

Lake George is Marion's secondary source of raw water. Old City Lake is its primary source, and it, too, is full. The accompanying photograph was taken today at Lake George where water has reached the breech point. Marion has been working on a plan to continue using Lake George as a backup to its older reservoir and seeking other longterm alternatives for safe and reliable drinking water.

With water on everyone's mind in Marion, this week's full edition of The Crittenden Press has broken down some of the numbers that will be professionally examined in the coming days in a formal water study by an outside organization.
