Martin County, Kentucky is in the middle of a dire water crisis, and an immediate solution is far from over.
Since December 15, many citizens of Martin County have seen their water restricted to just ten hours a day, with some having no water whatsoever.

Matt Jones and the Hey Kentucky! crew visited Martin County to interview several locals on the water crisis, and even reached out to public officials to find some answers.
Take a look at their experience below:
