Spencer County fiscal court approves interlocal agreement allowing water shutoffs for delinquent sewer accounts
Summary
Spencer County Fiscal Court approved an interlocal agreement and accompanying resolution with the City of Taylorsville to permit coordinated water disconnection for delinquent sewer accounts managed by the Spencer County Sanitation District and authorized submitting the agreement to the Kentucky Attorney General.
Spencer County Fiscal Court voted April 20 to approve an interlocal agreement with the City of Taylorsville that allows the city to disconnect water service for customers with delinquent sewer bills managed by the Spencer County Sanitation District.
The agreement, which the court adopted by motion and voice vote, lays out a 30-day notice process, requires the District to provide the city a list of delinquent properties for disconnection, and establishes a process for fees and reimbursement to the City. The court also adopted Resolution No. 11, Fiscal Year 2026, approving the interlocal agreement and authorizing its submission to the Kentucky Attorney General for review and final approval.
The Record noted the Department for Local Government had reviewed the proposed interlocal agreement. The motion to approve the interlocal arrangement was made and seconded; the minutes record the court’s action as approved by voice vote.
Sanitation District officials and board members attended the meeting to report operational matters earlier in the agenda. Bill Drury, chairman of the Spencer County Sanitation District, had presented district updates and preliminary plans from HMB for a new plant. The court’s action authorizes the District to work with the city on disconnection logistics and to remit any disconnect/reconnect fees to the city per the agreement’s terms.
The agreement directs the sanitation district’s chairman (or designee) to administer receipts and disbursements of disconnection/reconnection fees and states that the city will attempt disconnections “as soon as practical” after receiving the District’s list of accounts that have not paid or established a payment plan. The resolution clarifies the arrangement is intended to help the district collect overdue sewer charges that fund operation of the sewer system.
The court’s action was procedural and limited to approving the interlocal mechanism; no new rate or debt collection policy beyond the agreement text was adopted at the meeting.
