As Martin County grapples with a water crisis that has left residents facing unreliable access to clean, safe water, the importance of targeted infrastructure investment has never been clearer.

Gov. Andy Beshear proposes a $12 million allocation specifically for Martin County water projects in his budget. However, getting it into the final state budget hinges on the support it receives in the legislative process.

The actions of our elected representatives in this matter could significantly influence the quality of life in Martin County. Therefore, it is imperative that we, as citizens, make our voices heard.

Tell our elected legislator to support this funding.

Reach out to State Representative Bobby McCool and Senator Phillip Wheeler and urge them to champion the cause of our county by supporting Gov. Beshear’s $12 million allocation in the state budget.

This funding is a lifeline to fixing our failing water system and ensuring a better water future for all residents.

Your voices matter.
