Campbell County Fiscal Court is proud to announce a significant step forward in providing clean, safe drinking water to more families in the county. Through a partnership with the Northern Kentucky Water District, Campbell County will add over 6.5 miles of new water pipes, bringing public water access to nearly 98% of homes—well above the state average of 95%.

No matter the strength of a plastic or metal pipe, freezing water expansion creates a tremendous amount of pressure that can cause pipes to break. The Northern Kentucky Water District wants to help you prevent these types of breaks that can cause substantial damage.

With a capacity of 500,000 gallons, the new tank will be able to adequately serve the 2,633 active services in this tank’s pressure zone and provide sufficient storage in the case of an emergency.

“At NKWD, we plan, build, maintain, and invest in our assets to deliver dependable services that promote a healthy, viable community,” said NKWD President/CEO Lindsey Rechtin. “The new Taylor Mill Tank will truly better serve the community and continue to provide a safe, clean and sufficient water supply.”

A significant number of Northern Kentucky Water District customers will soon be receiving a notification in the mail regarding their water service line material as part of required notification from the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s revised Lead and Copper Rule.

“These notifications will alert the owner whether their service line material is lead, galvanized downstream from lead, or unknown material, which we have to consider as lead until we know otherwise,” said NKWD President/CEO Lindsey Rechtin. “It will also provide additional resources and information about lead for our customers.”
