 July is going to be hotter than ever because you get up to $50 off any smartphone at Appalachian Wireless to your agreement required. Better service? Bigger savings? That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. The Martin County Concerned citizens held a meeting Thursday at Pigeon Roost to voice their problems and concerns with the Martin County Water District. Members of the group say they hope to build up enough momentum to put pressure on the Public Service Commission to do more than simply acknowledge the problems the residents are having. People talked about concerns that they were having with the poor water pressure. It sounds like especially over on this side of the mountain a lot of times the water pressure is really bad and the water when you know when the pressure is really bad especially the water it smells like raw it smells like dead fish people were saying. Other people were saying the water is so often so chemically that it burns that has so many chemicals in it that it burns their skin when they shower and they had they get rashes they have to use lots of lotion so lots of problems with the water quality and then we had a lot of people talking about problems with the management of the water district. Representative Chris Harris of the 93rd district brought hope to the residents at the meeting. There's no question that there are some issues with the Martin County water district that need to be addressed and are being addressed. I think there's quite a bit of hope. We've got a great management consultant that is now on staff at the Martin County water district that has a proven record in other counties of being able to help straighten out messes. It's going to be a process it's not going to happen overnight but we feel like that some things are in place now that give us a good foundation to start building on and to help solve some of the problems that the Martin County water district is facing. A public forum is scheduled for August 29th in INEAS where representatives from the Energy Environmental Cabinet the Public Service Commission the Martin County water district and UK public health will all be in attendance.
