Although the officials saved the water supplies, they ordered water restrictions as the city’s water treatment plant closed down. 

Pernod Ricard was the company that owned the distillery at the time. They donated more than US$250,000 to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. This helped in replenishing the river’s fish population.
