| Water & Sewer |
 |
In 1936, the City of New Haven began selling processed water to area residents. The City
continued processing and selling water for 53 years. The plant eventually fell into disrepair over
the years. Due to lack of funds for renovation and to avoid violations from the Division of Water
for not meeting Safe Drinking Water Standards, the City considered an alternative water supply.
In 1988 the very difficult decision was made to close the City Water Plant. A four mile water
line was constructed to allow the city to purchase water from the City of Bardstown.
The City currently has 2 water tanks, one on Prices Creek Loop, off of New Haven Road, which
holds approximately 150,000 gallons of water and one on Indian Hills, commonly referred to as
our “Downtown Tank”, which holds 209,000 gallons of water. From the two tanks, the water is
distributed to our 600 water connections.
In 1973, the City constructed a sewer treatment plant. The plant consists of a primary and a
secondary lagoon, which is referred to as a “Package Treatment Plant”. The plant receives all
flows through our 3 pump stations, where it is treated and released into the Davis Creek, which
is tributary to the Rolling Fork River.
