In Marion Kentucky:

"Bryant said there is reason to celebrate the improvements in the city's water over the past couple of years. He says a new strategy along with some earlier distribution improvements made a big difference. He also hopes to get $2 million in federal stimulus money to build a new 12-inch water main from the Front Porch Restaurant at the southern edge of town to Second Street on the north side. An old six-inch line currently carries water along that route, and it is continuously breaking, which means the street has to be dug up for repairs to be done. It's a double-edged sword, he said. The lines are a patchwork of repairs and the streets are rough from all of the disturbance.
Thanks to grant funds, the city replaced a significant number of small distribution lines a few years ago. It also switched its raw water source from old City Lake to Lake George, which Thomas and Bryant say was a big step toward producing better water."
