Thanks to @KySportsRadio & its listeners for raising and contributing over $25K in relief funds for Martin Co. Water customers. Amazing! The MCWD has a difficult, but doable, task ahead and needs us all engaged & working together to provide Martin Co. with safe & reliable water.

PSC says Martin County Water District is the “worst” water district in state of Kentucky. #MartinCountyWater

[RAMPAmerica @RAMPAmerica]

#MartinCounty #KY got $1.2M grant to replace water service lines - this is a good start, but not enough #WaterCrisisKY #water

[RAMPAmerica @RAMPAmerica]

#MartinCounty #KY doesn’t have enough $ for #water b/c residents can’t afford to pay #WaterCrisisKY #Poverty #water is basic human right!

[RAMPAmerica @RAMPAmerica]

#MartinCounty #KY only has 60-90 days of funding to provide water to residents. State needs to get involved. #Poverty #WaterCrisisKY

@kypsc Martin County Water district 's water loss has not changed since 2010. It's still at 50% and nothing has improved.

[Wenonah Hauter @WenonahHauter]

@kypsc You can't collect money from people who have none. What's Martin County doing to make sure low-income people have access to water?

Commissioner Horn discussing water to #MartinCounty Schools - more than 2 days were missed due to water shut off in Jan #WaterCrisisKY

[RAMPAmerica @RAMPAmerica]

“#MartinCounty #Water district is worse-run water district in county,” per water dept chairman at @KYPSC #WaterCrisisKY Let’s fix this!

[RAMPAmerica @RAMPAmerica]

How much was a consultant paid to recommend a water rate hike when the district is in debt #watercrisisKY @WenonahHauter @KYPSC

[RAMPAmerica @RAMPAmerica]

McCoy says that there was a meeting last night of about 50 people. Many people do not know what's going on. Not enough notification about boiled water days.

[Wenonah Hauter @WenonahHauter]

McCoy is describing how terrible it is not to have water. Schools are closed and water is polluted from mining.

[Wenonah Hauter @WenonahHauter]

Nina McCoy from Inez KY says that the immediate situation--people without water. People haven't had water for a month!

[Wenonah Hauter @WenonahHauter]

What an injustice. People are suffering without water in Martin Co, KY and yet this hearing in Frankfort, KY is so far away that they can't attend.
