Campbell County Fiscal Court has announced a partnership with the Northern Kentucky Water District to extend water service to unserved homes across the county.
Through the partnership, Campbell County is adding over 6.5 miles of new water pipes, bringing public water access to nearly 98% of homes, above the state average of 95%.
“This project shows Campbell County cares about making sure every family has clean, safe water,” said Judge/Executive Steve Pendery in a press release. “Our team has worked hard to make this happen, and we’re proud to help improve water systems in our community.”
The $5.5 million project, funded through federal American Rescue Plan Act grants, Cleaner Water Program grants appropriated by the Kentucky Legislature and local resources, will extend water service to unserved homes across the county. Construction begins in January 2025, with some roads ready for connections as early as April. The project is expected to be fully completed by Spring 2026.
New water pipes will be installed on:
- Blangey Road (creek crossing to the south end of the road.)
- Enzweiler Road (AA Highway to the east end of the road.)
- Gunkel Road (Mystic Rose to the end of the road.)
- Oneonta Road (Washington Trace Road to Route 8.)
- Pond Creek Road (#10365 to Visalia Road.)
- Poplar Thicket Road (Licking Pike to #446.)
- Rifle Range Road (bridge to end of the road.)
- Upper Lick Branch Road (Grandview to #2421.)
This project reduces the number of homes without public water from nearly 1,000 to fewer than 900.
