Any county judge/executive, except in counties containing a city of the first
class, upon petition of seventy-five (75) resident freeholders of a water district
organized under the provisions of KRS 74.010, may authorize said water
district to acquire, develop, maintain, and operate a system for the distribution
of gas to the citizens of the county. The petition shall describe the territory
intended to be included in the area to be served and shall set out the reasons a
gas distribution system is needed.
When the petition is filed, the county judge/executive shall give notice of the
filing by publication as provided in KRS Chapter 424. Within thirty (30) days
after the publication, any resident of the district may file objections, and the
county judge/executive shall set the matter for hearing within ten (10) days. If
the county judge/executive finds the establishment of a gas distribution system
by such district reasonably necessary for the public health, convenience, and
comfort of the residents, he shall make an order authorizing the establishment
or acquisition of the gas distribution system.
The county judge/executive may in his order strike off any part of the territory
that the testimony shows will not be benefited by the creation of the distribution
system. If the county judge/executive does not find that the gas distribution
system is necessary he shall dismiss the petition. Either party may appeal the
order to the Circuit Court.
