A huge THANK YOU to our incredible residents and businesses for your patience and efforts in conserving water during this time—it truly made a difference. We also want to give a special shout-out to the hardworking crews who worked around the clock to complete the repair. Your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed!

Unfortunately, the leak in our raw water system is still under repair, and it’s not fixed just yet. We’re asking everyone to please continue conserving water today, as work crews are doing everything they can to resolve the issue.
We know this is a rare situation, and we truly appreciate your patience (and your dry shampoo skills), just know—you’re not alone, and the end is near!
We’ll update you again as soon as the project is complete. Thank you for sticking with us and continuing to limit water use. Calvert City, you’re doing great!

Calvert City water users are doing a GREAT job of conserving water. Utility workers are seeing a difference, and it’s showing in their ability to work on the leak. This is a large project, and crews have been working around the clock to fix the problem. Please continue to conserve water, and we hope for the project to be completed soon. We will update this post as information presents itself.
The City of Calvert City is requesting residents and businesses to voluntarily limit water usage over the next 48 hours due to a significant leak in the city’s raw water supply line. While this type of issue is rare, it requires immediate attention and the full support of the community to ensure the water system can recover once repairs are completed.
This situation does not constitute a boil water advisory. The water remains safe to drink and use; however, conservation is essential during this time to allow the system’s water supply to rebuild and stabilize.
“We are asking for the community’s help in reducing water usage as we work to resolve the issue,” said Bobby Henson, Calvert City Utility Superintendent. “This is a rare occurrence, but it’s one that demands quick action and strong cooperation to maintain the integrity of our water system.”
Ways Residents Can Help Conserve Water:
-
Postpone laundry and dishwasher use.
-
Limit shower times and turn off water when brushing teeth or shaving.
-
Avoid washing vehicles or outdoor surfaces.
-
Delay filling pools, hot tubs, or ornamental fountains.
-
Temporarily shut off irrigation or sprinkler systems.
-
Repair any known water leaks promptly.
City crews are working diligently to identify and repair the leak, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. For questions or additional information, please contact Calvert City Hall at (270) 395-7138 or by email at info@calvertcityky.gov.
