Project Title:
Madisonville - Peewee Lake Regional Source Water System Replacement

Project Description:
The City of Madisonville seeks construction funding to replace its aging raw water intake system, a critical link in the regional drinking water supply. The existing 24-inch cast iron line, installed more than 70 years ago beneath the earthen embankment of the Peewee Dam—a high-hazard dam—presents operational, safety, and regulatory challenges. This project will construct a modern intake system that ensures a reliable and resilient raw water supply to the regional filtration plant while bringing the dam into compliance with State Dam Safety requirements. The improvements will protect public health, safeguard vital infrastructure, and preserve the long-term integrity of the reservoir, benefiting thousands of residents and businesses across the service area. Add a new pumpstation (existing capacity 1,689,103 gallons, new capacity not known at this time) equipped with VFD and 3 new pumps at the Treatment plant. The project design is approximately 90% complete, with all preliminary engineering, permitting coordination, and technical specifications well advanced. The proposed system includes a shoreline wet well with an attached control building housing high-efficiency submersible pumps, delivering lake water through approximately 1200 LF of new 20-inch DI pipe transmission mains. Twin screened intake lines with air-burst cleaning systems will extend into the reservoir, secured with micropile supports for long-term stability. The facility will be integrated with the plant’s SCADA system and supported by an existing backup generator to ensure operational flexibility and emergency resilience. All construction will occur within the existing water plant property. The $560,000 design phase is fully funded; construction funding is now sought to advance this nearly shovel ready project to completion.

Need For Project: Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
Lake Peewee Dam is classified as a High Hazard structure. The existing raw water system relies on a continuously pressurized pipeline running through the base of the earthen embankment—a configuration the Kentucky Division of Dam Safety has formally identified as a hazard. This legacy system, originally designed to serve a former treatment plant, utilizes 70-year-old pipes whose failure would not only result in the loss of raw water supply for the entire regional system but could also compromise the integrity of the dam, posing a significant threat to life, property, and regional infrastructure. The proposed improvements will replace this outdated configuration with a modern intake facility and drawdown infrastructure that fully complies with current dam safety regulations, eliminating the identified hazard and ensuring a secure, resilient, and compliant water supply system.

Project Alternatives:

Alternate A:

Note: If project includes the construction of a new treatment plant or upgrade to existing plant, please explain regionalization options here.

Lake Peewee as a source water system includes the ability to refill the lake from the point in the green river 16 miles away.  This water supply is connected to the South Hopkins Water District which can be mutually supportive to a limited extent.  Interconnection between the two systems is not enough to supply the whole city.

Alternate B:

The System could be connected directly to the Green River Line ensuring raw water supply independent of the dam or the lake.  This however, places to much reliance on the 16-mile green river pipeline which is in operable for days at a time during numerous repairs that are made each year.

Green Infrastructure:

Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:
