âThe Perry County Fiscal Court inherited the Vicco Water and Waste Water Treatment Facility about six years ago, it was in a court case. We got about 1,000 plus meters on that system that was fixing to lose permanent service so we took the system over,â said Alexander. âThe system has been very good, we ve maintained water to customers about 99 percent of the time. It s rare that we have an outage and, a lot of times when we have disasters, we feed water into the city of Hazard to try to help.â

During the April 20 meeting of the Perry County Fiscal Court, Perry County Judge-Executive Scott Alexander and court members discussed recent issues with roads throughout the county, as well as the lack of available funding to resolve some of the ongoing issues.
âOur road costs are a lot more than normal this month,â said Alexander. âWeâve been through two major events and I think our gravel ran about $100,000 during those events just to start with. Other than that, everything is about the same.â
The recent storm damage and flooding, Alexander said, caused several incidents of road breaks and other related problems.
