The Kentucky Water Situation

Kentucky's commercial water customers face a two-sided challenge: rising rates and active conservation mandates that impose restrictions on non-residential water usage. The commercial rate of $8.0066 per 1,000 gallons effective December 2025 represents a significant cost for high-volume users, and conservation mandates add compliance pressure on top.
Commercial properties in Kentucky may have site-specific water-system and billing considerations.

Use monthly eligible usage-based water charges plus only sewer charges confirmed to vary with the relevant metered usage. Exclude fixed/base/meter fees, taxes and unrelated charges.
Winter-averaged, capped, flat or uncertain sewer charges need bill review; immediate sewer savings are not assumed.

Not sure which charges are eligible? Choose bill review. A gross-bill screening question is separate from this illustration.
