In addition to the other authority which water districts presently have under this
chapter, water districts are hereby authorized to acquire, develop, maintain, and
operate sewage disposal systems within the confines of their respective districts,
except that such sewer systems shall not include territory within the boundaries of
existing municipal corporations having the authority to provide such sewer services
without the consent of such municipal corporations.
In the event of annexation of territory within a water district by another municipal
corporation authorized to provide sewer systems and services, the water district may
continue to provide and charge for sewer services within such newly annexed areas
until such annexing municipal corporation makes adequate payment, by negotiation
or condemnation, for such sewage disposal facilities owned and operated by the
water district. The water district commissioners shall have all of the powers and
authority, as regards sewer systems, that are conferred upon them for the purpose of
furnishing a water supply under KRS 74.010 to 74.415.
If a water district that provides sewer services is also the water supplier, the water
district may provide that rates for water service and sewer service be billed
simultaneously and may enforce collection of lawful rates and charges for sewer
services by discontinuing water service until payment of the delinquent charges,
including penalties, interest, and reasonable fees for disconnection and
reconnection, is made or some payment arrangement satisfactory to the water
district is reached.
If a water district that provides sewer services is not the water supplier, the water
district may enforce collection of delinquent sewer service charges in the manner
provided in KRS 96.930 to 96.943.
