 As we approach 40 days with no measurable rainfall, water levels in streams and rivers across eastern Kentucky continue to fall. That has prompted officials with water companies to keep an extra close eye on their intake structures. On Thursday, officials with Southern Water in Floyd County used an excavator to push the intake screens down 6 to 8 inches in the LaVisa Fork of the Big Sandy River at Allen to ensure there will be no issues with water service due to the drought. In Pikeville officials with utility management groups say the river level in Pikeville has not fallen to a level where any action is being considered.
