A Harlan County Community is being watchful with their water use

Officials in Evarts have asked its citizens to cut back on their usage, as a safety precaution. Woodrow Fields works at the water plant, and he said that the water supply is just not where it should be. Fields believes that they could maintain their current usage, but if there was an emergency, like a fire, they would not be able to cope. Officials hope that the alert will only last a month, and are drilling a new well system to ease the issue.
