  • New water pipeline to benefit Grant customers

    The Kentucky Public Service Commission gave a thumbs up for Kentucky-American Water Company to build a pipeline that will connect its customers in it’s northern service area to the company’s plant on the Kentucky River in Owen County.
    Kentucky-American has about 3,900 customers in it’s Northern Division in Grant, Gallatin and Owen counties.
