Rural Loan Application – County Water System Improvements

Posted in Announcements

Improvements are needed in our County Water System. Improvements include: 1) increasing filtration capacity at Pirtle Spring Water Treatment Plant; 2) Increase raw water influent rate from Gray Lane Pump Station; 3) Install a new booster pump station to service the Brizendine Tank. These improvements will create a more efficient and sustainable operation which will aid in the longevity of the system.
Estimated cost of the project is $995,000.
A loan is needed to fund the project.
A loan application has been submitted to USRDA which gives the District an interest rate of 2.25%.
USRDA loans require water bills to be at least 1% of Median Household Income (MHI) for our service area in order to proceed with the loan. The current MHI for Hardin County, Kentucky is $54,367.00. (Sources: https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/hardincountykentucky/INC110219 and https://www.kentuckyhealthfacts.org/data/topic/show.aspx?loc=47&ind=70 )
The federal regulation for meeting 1% of the Median Household Income started in June 1997 when the Rural Utilities Service instituted new rules to streamline the Water and Waste Program.
This adjustment is for water only and will not affect sewer rates.
The majority of our customers fall in the 3,000 gallons used per month range. For a 3,000 gallon a month user, they would see an increase of approximately $9.00 on their monthly bill.
No date for a Rate Adjustment has been determined. Public notices will be made as more information becomes available.
