New Haven released from 2022 Agreed Order after lagoon upgrades, mayor says
Summary
Mayor Linda Mattingly told the board the Kentucky Division of Water has released New Haven from the 2022 Agreed Order after upgrades at the city lagoon brought the system back into compliance; she thanked city employees for their work.
Mayor Linda Mattingly reported at the Jan. 16 Board of Commissioners meeting that the Kentucky Division of Water has released the City of New Haven from the 2022 Agreed Order following upgrades at the city lagoon.
The mayor said the improvements addressed the permit deficiencies that prompted the 2022 order and credited city staff for carrying out the work. "She thanked the employees for working so hard to make this happen," meeting minutes state.
The release clears a multi‑year compliance requirement and removes an administrative constraint on sewer operations; the meeting record does not list the specific technical changes beyond "upgrades at the lagoon." The board did not vote on further related actions during the meeting.
Mayor Mattingly framed the announcement as the latest step in restoring regulatory compliance and noted separate river cleanup work by Nelson County Fiscal Court that will also affect local waterways. The city will retain routine reporting obligations to the Division of Water unless otherwise notified by the agency.
The board did not set a follow‑up date in the meeting minutes. City officials and staff were thanked for completing the upgrades that, according to the minutes, put the city back into compliance.
