In the valleys of the South Fork of the Licking River, Stoner and Hinkston Creeks, and their major tributaries, most drilled wells will produce enough water for a domestic supply at depths of less than 100 feet. Wells located in the upper reaches of the larger creek valleys will produce enough water for a domestic supply except during dry weather. In the upland areas of eastern and southern Bourbon County (30 percent of the county) most drilled wells will not produce enough water for a dependable domestic supply; some wells along drainage lines may produce enough water, except during dry weather. Throughout the county groundwater is hard or very hard and may contain salt or hydrogen sulfide, especially at depths greater than 100 feet. |
