In the Kentucky River, Hickman Creek, Jessamine Creek, and their major tributaries, most drilled wells in the valleys will produce enough water for a domestic supply at depths of less than 100 feet. Wells located in the creek valleys and the uplands of the northern two-thirds of the county will produce enough water for a domestic supply except during dry weather. In the southern part of Jessamine County, most drilled wells will not produce enough water for a dependable domestic supply, unless they are drilled along drainage lines, in which case they may produce enough water except during dry weather. Throughout the county ground water is hard or very hard and may contain salt or hydrogen sulfide, especially at depths greater than 100 feet. |
