The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky finds and determines as a fact

collection projects in the interests of the health, safety and welfare of the general public

residing in such areas and in order to enable metropolitan population centers to plan and

develop major community-wide sewer facilities; that it is therefore essential that urban-

county governments be vested with alternative authority for the construction and

installation of facilities for the collection of flowable liquid wastes generated by

residential, commercial and industrial uses for ultimate disposition in a proper manner at

the cost of benefited properties; and that such urban-county governments be authorized

collection projects.
