Well flood waters for several farming families from their homes in Woodford County over the weekend.

Officials say flooding has destroyed or damaged more than 250 homes in the county.

People living near the Kentucky River were advised to leave their homes as heavy rainfall pushed the river close to record level for sale.

Mayor says everyone is doing what they can to help those who are being affected.

Our retention basins at the city are doing what they're supposed to do, and they're filled with water.

And, you know, so we're we're just, all hands on deck here in the city and the county to make sure that people have the support they need as they recover.

We know that people down on the Kentucky River who have homes down there are, in pretty bad shape.

You know, where they've had their homes flooded, they've lost their possessions.

So we're praying for them.

And, in trying to provide support, here on the city side, except for the, the water plant, you know, asking people to conserve until we can get the electric up and running.

The overabundance of water has the city of herself asking people to conserve water for municipal utilities.

Announced today it was shutting down the intake from the Kentucky River due to flooding and safety concerns.

Municipal said the water is safe to consume, but they don't want people using too much, which could lower reserve levels and force a boil water order to take the pressure off the city's water system.

Today, the city held a free bottled water distribution at the Woodford County Park.

It's been really well received.

A lot of people in our community have come together.

They want to know how they can help.

And so today we have a really concrete example of how to help conserve your water as much as you can.

We've had a huge response, and we're coming on probably 100 residents so far.

And, you know, we actually hope that goes up.

We hope we have no more water left so that people take this home, rely on this, and keep their taps closed until we can get everything back online.

City officials say water conservation efforts will likely remain in place for the next two days.
