NEW SEWERLINE EXTENSION - DAMRON MAYO SUBDIVISION

The Sewerline extension going to the Damron Mayo Subdivision is underway and should be finished by May 28, 2012.  Every house along the path of the new sewer line is required to receive a tap.  There is no tap fee for a sewer tap on this line, however, you do need to go to the Little Sandy District Health Dept. at the Carter County Court House for a plumbing permit ($35).  You will also be responsible for the cost of laying your sewer line from your house to the stub out of the tap.  

You will have a grace period (still to be determined) to hook up to the sewer line when it is finished.    After the grace period you will automatically be billed for sewer on your utility bill.  The Out-of-Town sewer rates are based on water consumption:

          First 1,000 gallons---------$28.81       (Ex. $28.81  1st 1,000 gal.  

          Every 1,000 thereafter---$7.21                20.19   next 2,800 gal.)                                   

Example: If you use 3,800 gallons water you would be charged $49.00 + taxes for the sewer part of the bill.

If you have any questions regarding the new sewerline extension, please call the Utility Office at 606-474-7569, M-F 8:00-4:00.

 LOCAL WATER DISTRICT HONORED!

 

(August 27, 2009) Representatives of Kentucky’s public drinking water and wastewater utilities gathered for the Kentucky Rural Water Association’s (KRWA) 30th Annual Conference and Exhibition August 24 – 26, 2009 in Lexington, Kentucky.   Over 700 utility professionals gathered at the Hyatt Regency and Lexington Convention Center to join the Association in “Celebrating Thirty Years” of service to Kentucky’s utilities.

On Tuesday, August 25, 2009, Grayson Utilities Commission was among ten water and wastewater utilities recognized and honored at the Member Appreciation Breakfast for their outstanding service during the past year.  Each year, ten finalists, that have shown exceptional efforts in meeting the needs of their communities, enhancing their operations, and complying with regulatory requirements, are recognized.  The Wooden Bucket Award is presented to a water and/or wastewater utility that has made substantial and lasting improvements in providing high levels of customer service and high quality drinking water and wastewater services in its community. Other finalists included Edmonson County Water District, Judy Water Association, Lyon County Water District, Monticello Utility Commission, City of New Haven, North Mercer Water District, Paintsville City Utilities, Southeastern Water Association, and Warren County Water District.  The winner of the 2009 Wooden Bucket Award was Warren County Water District. 

The Kentucky Rural Water Association is a state-wide, non-profit association that provides training, on-site technical assistance, advocacy, and other services to all utilities, including over 375 member public drinking water and wastewater utilities, in Kentucky.  With offices in Bowling Green and Frankfort, KRWA has been fulfilling its mission of helping water and wastewater utilities help themselves since 1979.
