Ky. Rev. Stat. § 67A.872
The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky finds and determines as a fact that in urbanized areas of the Commonwealth, where industrialization and commercialization have progressed at a high rate, attended by rapid residential development, there is a particular public need for acquisition of major wastewater collection projects in the interests of the health, safety and welfare of the general public residing in such areas and in order to enable metropolitan population centers to plan and develop major community-wide sewer facilities; that it is therefore essential that urban-county governments be vested with alternative authority for the construction and installation of facilities for the collection of flowable liquid wastes generated by residential, commercial and industrial uses for ultimate disposition in a proper manner at the cost of benefited properties; and that such urban-county governments be authorized and empowered to directly plan, develop, initiate, finance and carry out wastewater collection projects.
