Message from Mayor Scott Jackson:
On behalf of the City of Beattyville, I would like to express a heartfelt “Thank you” to those who have joined us this past week in dealing with the devastating flood.
We are grateful that within hours, hundreds of people came to our aide from both near and far.
We are in awe of our community and how everyone has joined TOGETHER and stepped up to help neighbors and friends in a time of such devastation. We ask for your continued prayers and support for each of them.
City Hall and Beattyville Waterworks offices were also flooded. We are currently in the process of temporarily relocating until it is renovated. During this time you can still drop your payment for your water bill in the night drop box in the parking lot of our office or you can pay your bill on this page by clicking the link in the blue line on the top of this page that reads “pay online”. You will need the account holders last name and the account number including the dashes to do so. You may also mail it to: PO Box 307 Beattyville, KY 41311.
Please be patient, we will get through this together and be stronger because of it.

About Beattyville
Bettyville: A Memoir
Nestled in a valley where the North Fork and South Fork rivers come together to create the head waters of the Kentucky river, rests a true mountain community, Beattyville. With a population of 1,178, It is the center piece of a mountainous, timber covered county with dramatic cliffs, abundant wild life and miles of country roads and waterways. Beattyville (named for a local land owner Sam Beatty in 1843) along with communities named Heidelberg, Tallega, Fillmore, Fincastle and Cressmont, among others, boasts a rich and diverse history of trials and victories which began well before the formation of Lee as the 115th county.
