Established by KRS 151 and KRS 224A, the Council exists to coordinate water and wastewater system development statewide. Members include all county judge/executives, representative of any first, second, third, or fourth class city without a municipal water or wastewater system, representative of each local health department, and a representative selected by each community public water system, as defined in 401 KAR 8:010 sec. 1(71)(a) that provides water to persons in a city and/or county. Quarterly meetings give members the opportunity to coordinate plans and projects to avoid duplication of service, ensure consistency with local and regional land use plans, and promote cost-effectiveness.
