Hardin County Water District #2 Shares Projected Demands, Plans To Address Growth

Hardin County Fiscal Court held their regularly scheduled meeting last night. Both Hardin County Water Districts provided their annual presentations including financial reports, upcoming projects, community involvement and accolades. Hardin County Water District #2 also shared the impact of the BlueOval SK project on their capacities and demands for the next fifteen to twenty years. “So when we look at projected demand over the next twenty years, you know, without the project in Glendale, our projections show that we would be good through 2024. However, when you add the BlueOval SK project, and any growth that may occur from that, very quickly, the projected demand is above our current capacities. So that’s why we have a couple of projects in the pipeline here that we’re working on. One project will expand that capability of pumping from the Louisville connection, which allows us to take full advantage of the amount that they can provide to us from there now. But even with that in place we still fall short by 2029. So that’s why we signed the second contract with Louisville Water this past year,” stated Hardin County Water District #2 spokesperson Shaun Youravich. Even with the projects to expand pumping capability, the district has to make plans to address possible expansion again in the future to increase capacity through their Louisville connection. “We’ve actually looked beyond 2040 as well and have already had discussions with Louisville Water and have a plan in place for future growth as well. We’ll keep an eye on our projected demands and if we need to pull the trigger on that next phase sooner, that’s what we will do.” The next regularly scheduled meeting is scheduled for Tuesday April 25 at 5:30 PM.
