Kentucky HB693 allows cities to extend municipal water and sanitary sewer services to contiguous areas and outlines conditions for service provision.

Kentucky HB693 amends the state's water supply and sanitary sewer system extension provisions. It allows cities to extend their water and sanitary sewer services to contiguous areas, provided the city or sanitation authority can acquire necessary rights and franchises. If the city-owned or operated system fails to provide service within the agreed time, customers can opt to receive service from the previous provider. The bill also mandates that cities consider installing fire hydrants on extended lines, unless deemed infeasible based on cost and benefits analysis.
