Replaced valve shows one big water loss situation 2012-08-10 - Grandview, 640 Watertower Bypass, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Columbia/Adair Utilities District General Manager Lennon Stone showed a section of line and metering valve which was replaced in the Russell Road section of water lines. The valve had been leaking approximately 5,000 gallons of water a month, according to David Bowles of Monarch Engineering, the board's consulting engineer. The utility replaced the unit which is its responsibility, but Stone warned, the line from the metering valve into the user's water system may be just as bad, and could result in some customer's water to show only a high degree of improvement. Because of this, Stone said, there can still be off-color water, but the interior lines will be the customer's responsibility. The photo was taken at the Thursday, August 9, 2012, regular meeting of the District. Also in the photo, clockwise, are Board Member Tim Baker, Back to camera, foreground, Board Attorney Marshall Loy, and Board Member Rudy Higginbotham. All board members were present, including Chairman Robert Flowers, and members David Jones and Barry Stotts. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Congressman Ed Whitfield spoke to a packed Adair Annex meeting room about his efforts to save Westlake Regional Hospital. Whitfield, who helped secured a $21 million loan to help Russell County build a new hospital, said that he would be seeking aid for crisis Adair County faces with Westlake. Some 85 people occupied every chair or were standing around the walls of the large meeting room, and others, estimated at 15-30, where in the halls. Originally, Rep. Whitfield was to meet only with magistrates, board members and community leaders - most of whom were contacted by phone - but later Thursday morning, the too brief meeting was opened to the public, announced for 1pmCT.
