(1)
(2)
Upon the adoption of an ordinance or resolution by the governing body of each
city, water association, or water district, or upon a decision by a federal
agency, a certified copy of it shall be filed with the county judge/executive of
the county in which the cities, water associations, water districts, or federal
agencies proposing the creation of the commission having the greatest
aggregate population are situated; and upon the filing, the county
judge/executive shall by appropriate order set a date for a public hearing on the
creation of the commission and shall give reasonable notice of the public
hearing, which notice may be given in the manner as provided by KRS Chapter
424. Any customer of the water systems or resident of the cities proposing the
creation of the commission may file objections; and at the public hearing if the
county judge/executive finds that the establishment of the commission is
reasonably necessary or advantageous for the public health, convenience, and
comfort of the customers of all the water systems which proposed the creation
of the commission, he shall make an order establishing the commission and
designating it by name which name shall include the words "water
commission."
If the county judge/executive does not find that the creation of a commission is
reasonably necessary or advantageous, he shall make an appropriate order in
this regard. Any party in interest may appeal the order to the Circuit Court or
the cities, water associations, and water districts may revise and readopt the
ordinances or resolutions, or the federal agency may revise its decision.
