extended water lines.
(1)The commissioners of a water district, or the governing body of a water association
referred to in KRS 74.012(1), in order to provide adequate means of fire protection,
may consider the installation of fire hydrants on new or extended water lines within
their area. They may investigate the availability of supplementary funding to pay the
incremental costs of line sizing and hydrant installation. The commissioners or
governing body shall not eliminate fire hydrants from new or extended water lines
unless they determine that hydrants are not feasible. Their analysis shall include
consideration of the incremental costs of adequately sized pipe and associated
pumps and towers, and the benefits of real estate development, water sales, the
availability of fire protection insurance, and the reduced fire insurance premiums
which may result from the installation of hydrants at specified intervals.
(2)If a private real estate subdivision developer has not included adequately sized pipe
and fire hydrants in his development plan, the commissioners of a water district or
the governing body of a water association which has the capacity to supply adequate
water for fire hydrants shall require, at the time the developer applies for permission
to hook into the district's water lines, an analysis by the developer of the
incremental cost of hydrants and piping adequately sized for hydrants, the effect of
hydrants on the cost and availability of fire protection insurance, and conclusions as
to why the installation of hydrants is not feasible.
