75.080 Erection of fire hydrants.
The trustees of any fire protection district wherein water pipes have been constructed and
are maintained in the public ways thereof may by resolution duly adopted cause the
erection of fire hydrants and attachments to the water pipes in the public ways, after the
trustees have made a written contract for water to be furnished for use in the hydrants.
The cost of such erection and attachments shall be apportioned by the trustees against the
owners of the property fronting the public ways in which the fire hydrants are erected, by
any equitable mode of apportionment which the board of trustees prescribes in the
resolution ordering the erection of the fire hydrants and a lien shall exist against the
property against which the apportionment runs for the cost of such improvement in the
amount of such apportionment and interest thereon at the rate of six percent (6%) per
annum. The lien is enforceable by proceedings in court. The erection and installation of
fire hydrants may be under contract let to the lowest and best bidder after advertisement
by publication pursuant to KRS Chapter 424.
