For years the City of Guthrie sought to create a natural gas utility to serve its residents.

McGhee Engineering, Inc. assisted Guthrie in the design, planning and negotiation phase, and served as project manager during construction of the system.

In 1997, the City of Elkton needed additional water storage capacity to supply the needs of a new industry locating in the city. McGhee Engineering performed a hydraulic study of their system and recommended a new water storage tank to be located outside of town along the new US 68/80 Bypass. McGhee worked with the Pennyrile Area Development District to secure a grant from the Economic Development Administration for construction of the project. The project includes the construction of a 336,800-gallon ground-level storage tank, 2 miles of 10-inch water line, and raising an existing water storage tank to provide additional storage capacity.
