(1)Each governmental agency which has entered into an assistance agreement with the

authority whereby such governmental agency has covenanted to impose service

charges and remit same to the authority, shall, as provided in such assistance

agreement, at the due time impose such service charges, use and employ all of such

governmental agency's power and authority to enforce and collect such service

charges, including requiring termination of water service to any delinquent user, and

promptly remit the amounts collected as representing service charges from its users

directly to the authority. All such service charges shall be remitted to the authority

with a report showing collections and any delinquencies, such report to be made on

or before the twentieth day of the month following the payment of such service

charges.

(2)All sums received by the authority as representing service charges generated by

assistance agreements shall constitute authority revenues and shall be used, treated,

and employed by the authority in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

(3)In the event, for any reason, the schedule of service charges levied by the

governmental agency in accordance with an assistance agreement shall prove to be

insufficient to afford repayment to the authority of the minimum sums stipulated in

KRS 224A.100, in accordance with the agreed repayment schedule, the authority

shall forthwith advise the governmental agency, and the governmental agency shall

promptly adjust such service charges so as to provide funds sufficient for such

payments to the authority in accordance with the terms and conditions of the

assistance agreement. As provided in this chapter, the authority may compel any

such governmental agency to adjust such service charges to meet the requirements

of any assistance agreement, or may proceed to adjust, levy, and collect such service

charges itself, in the name of the authority, and for the benefit of the authority, such

direct levies and collections to additionally provide sums sufficient for the costs of

levying, billing, and collecting such service charges.
