Update: April 6 at 7 p.m.
The County County authorities worked to eliminate the “disinformation” surrounding the opening of the ten dam as managers of the public services of Kentucky and the mayor of Carrollton, Robb Adams, published information in the midst of evacuations.
Daniel Lowry with Kentucky Utilities published the following information in Lex 18 concerning the Dixdam:
“In a controlled way, we have been opening up spill doors since Friday evening and everything happens through procedures. The flow of Lake Herrington calmed down this Sunday morning and we are in the process of closing the doors today (Sunday).”
Meanwhile, the director of the county judge of Franklin, Michael Mueller, published the following declaration:
I just want to crush all this disinformation out of ten damage. Ten DAM is going out exactly how they are supposed by the emergency management state. I know that the mayor went up and said they opened 10 doors. It’s true but everything was planned. Frankfort’s numbers therefore include what is happening at ten DAM at the moment. 49.5 is still our ridge at 2 am, so it will stay at this height until 8 a.m. Please help me disseminate this information that the video Dam of this mayor is incorrect. This will not affect Frankfort and the county of Franklin. So I just wanted to clarify this and everyone will be safe and we will speak soon.
The mayor of Carrollton, Robb Adams, published an additional video saying that there was bad communication concerning the Dixdam and continued to apologize for disinformation.
“All I have done was to transmit what we had at the time,” said Adams. “All I do now is to transmit new clear information that we have received from the same source.”
“The information we had earlier on the Dixdam press release, that 10 dam doors were accidentally opened, we obtained this information from Frankfort. Somewhere, there was bad communication for us and it was not true,” reiterated the mayor.
Watch the mayor’s video below.
Original story:
The compulsory evacuations were ordered for Persesville, Greensbottom, Happy Hollow, Blue Lick, Lock Number One Road and Lower Mason Street, according to Carroll Co. Urgery Management (CCEM).
In an article on Facebook, the mayor of Carrollton, Robb Adams, said: “At noon today, it was when we brought out the emergency management of the state of Frankfort during a briefing that ten play -offs, I am sorry ten doors to the ten dam, which is in the center of Kentucky along the Kentucky river was opened accidentally.”

KYTC – District 7 posted on social networks, saying: “A previous article should have indicated that the release of water from Lake Herrington in the county of Mercer was a release planned due to the level of the lake. All the flood prediction models took into account the release in the planned flood models.”
Mike Ratliff with CCEM said in a letter: “There was a liberation from ten DAM which has a considerable impact on the areas below. The letter continues, saying:” The areas along the Kentucky river should be affected by an important flood event that history has never seen. This is an important threat that should be taken seriously. If you cannot evacuate, there is no guarantee in these resources that will exist for your rescue. “
Ratliff adds: “This is a high impact event and should be considered a potentially fatal emergency.”
Anyone who needs help is invited to call 502-732-6621. The letter adds that they have emergency staff to help abolish people and pets. The refuge is also available by calling 502-732-7060.
