Water in Frankfort was safe to drink, despite concerns about taste and odor. The Kentucky River was flowing slowly, due to drought, and was at 6.7 feet on Sept. 19 at the Frankfort lock. The Frankfort water provider initially posted about the aesthetics of the water on Facebook on Sept. 12. Kentucky American Water, supplying water to other cities in central Kentucky, also described an unpleasant taste and odor to the water on its Facebook page.
