96.539 Development of rules to govern extension of water and sewer service by city. Any water or sewer utility owned by a city shall develop rules to govern extensions of
service to unserved customers and areas. These rules may require that the applicant or
applicants for new service pay to the utility all or part of the cost of extending utility
lines. Where such payment is required, however, the cost of any extension greater than
one hundred (100) feet per applicant shall be subject to refund by the utility on a prorated
basis for each additional customer whose service line is directly connected to the
extension line paid for by the initial applicant or applicants. The refund period shall
extend at least ten (10) years, and in no case shall the refund amounts exceed the amount
paid. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent a water or sewer utility from
adopting extension or refund policies which are more lenient to customers than are herein
specified. History: Created 1980 Ky. Acts ch. 303, sec. 9, effective July 15, 1980.
