PRESENTATION
Communications Manager Pam Spencer offered the following summary:
Paducah Water Presentation
"Paducah Water General Manager Jason Petersen provided an overview of the utility and the most
recent fiscal year activity. Paducah Water was purchased by the City of Paducah in 1930 and is
governed by a seven -member independent board. It has 56 employees and 29,500 customers
(approximately 65,000 people). There are 700 miles of water main and 4700 hydrants. The utility's
total revenue for the past fiscal year was $16.06 million. Looking at growth in customers, Paducah
Water is growing at approximately 0.7 percent annually; however, water consumption is falling at
an average of 0.8 percent per year. Peterson says not unlike other utilities, Paducah Water is facing
the following challenges: staffing due to retirement, recruitment, and retention; federal regulations;
and an aging infrastructure with much of the system approaching 140 years old."
