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.
