The rate of the water use fees collected by the authority shall be set for each
year of the biennium based upon a total amount of funds necessary to carry
out only those functions, projects, and expenses authorized by the General
Assembly in the authority's biennial budget.
At the time the authority submits its budget to the Governor's Office of Policy
and Management, it shall certify to the General Assembly the total amount of
water use reported for the preceding biennium by users subject to the water
use fees. At least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the authority's
budget, the authority shall establish a rate for each water use fee based upon
an amount of water use projected for each year of the biennium from the
amount reported, calculated to generate the amount of funds necessary to
carry out the functions, projects, and expenses which have been authorized by
the General Assembly to be funded by the fees. The rate shall be an amount
for each one thousand (1,000) gallons of water use and shall be effective for at
least one (1) year.
The authority shall define by administrative regulation those uses of the
Kentucky River or the waters of the Kentucky River basin subject to a water
use fee. Water use fees shall not apply to facilities using water for agricultural
purposes. The authority shall collect the fees on a quarterly basis and pay the
collected fees into the State Treasury to the credit of a restricted fund for use
by the authority.
