Roeding, Westwood & Thayer Announce
Water and Sewer Projects for Kenton
Frankfort - State Senators Dick Roeding, Damon Thayer, & Jack Westwood announced today additional water and sewer projects for Kenton County thanks to an agreement between House and Senate leaders. The three senators and State Representatives Tom Kerr, Adam Koenig, Arnold Simpson, & Alecia Webb-Edgington, worked closely together to ensure that Kenton County would receive $3.2 million to be used for water and sewer line extensions and upgrades by the City of Covington, Sanitation District #1, Northern Kentucky Water District, and Kenton County Fiscal Court.
In addition, Senators Roeding, Thayer, & Westwood included in these funds $1,950,000 for the underserved areas of rural Kenton County, as well as updating sewers in the Latonia and Park Hills areas served by Sanitation District #1.
"Clean water and a comprehensive sewer system is important not only for economic development but also for the quality of life of our families," Senator Westwood said, "I was pleased to obtain these additional funds."
These funds are for distribution for the fiscal year 2009-2010 biennium.
Thank you,
Senator Damon Thayer
