Public filings with Kentucky’s Public Service Commission show the city of Livingston plans to sell its local water system.
Wood Creek Water District, the town’s local utility, temporarily ended water service to some residents in November. Livingston has been accruing more than $90,000 in debt to Wood Creek since 2006.
As of last month, the city still owes more than $30,000 in debt.
An email from a city employee filed to the Commission says the city plans to pay off all its debts and sell the system “to an entity capable of maintaining and appropriately operating.”
The Public Service Commission is currently investigating why and how the city accrued the debt. In December, the commission ordered Wood Creek cannot shut off service as long as the city continues to pay its bills.
Filings with the PSC related to the case are available here.
