Any metropolitan sewer district which has initiated a wastewater collection
project under the provisions of KRS Chapters 76 and 107 may enforce
payment of annual improvement benefit assessments levied in respect of such
project and may enforce rules and regulations relative to this project by
directing the company or governmental unit providing water services to any
benefited property to discontinue water services until: (a) the improvement
benefits and penalties are duly paid and (b) the regulations and rules shall
have been duly complied with and any defaults have been cured. However, a
metropolitan sewer district shall indemnify the company or governmental unit
providing water services from any liability for damages for terminating water
services upon the direction of a district.
Water suppliers shall be entitled to collect from owners of benefited properties
a reasonable fee for termination and reinstatement of water services.
It shall be lawful for metropolitan sewer districts initiating wastewater collection
projects to covenant with holders of bonds that the district shall enforce the
provisions of this section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, metropolitan sewer
districts initiating projects pursuant to KRS Chapters 76 and 107 shall have all
powers and rights granted to cities and sewer bodies by KRS 96.930 through
