Due to water line break, Prestonsburg City’s Utilities Commission has voluntarily issued a boil water advisory. This advisory includes customers beginning at Jarrell Fork Road along KY RT 80, turning into RT 122 of Bucks Branch and ending 1000 feet past Barnett Heights. 

This advisory includes any side roads and hollows between these points in the advisory. This advisory is being issued as a precautionary measure. Once the line break has been completed, water samples will be taken in the area and will be sent to a certified lab for analysis. Once results for the samples are received, we anticipate lifting the boil water advisory. However, until further notice, it’s advised that  customers in the affected area to boil their drinking water, bringing the water to a rolling boil for at least three (3) minutes.
