Elected officials in a small western Kentucky town that has faced an ongoing water shortage voiced support this week for rebuilding a dam for a local lake that previously served as its main water source.
Residents in the small western Kentucky city of Marion heard updates from state officials Thursday evening about potential short-term and long-term solutions to the community’s critical water shortage. Some of the more than 40 people at the special-called city council meeting also shared their frustration at what they see as slow progress at trying to solve the ongoing emergency.
