Annual Hydrant Flushing Notice

Starting Monday, April 22, 2024, GMWSS will begin its annual hydrant flushing, continuing over the next 2-3 months. This routine maintenance ensures the integrity and quality of our distribution system and proper functioning of hydrants.

Please use caution in the flushing area due to possible water on the roadway. Some tap water discoloration may occur, which is normal. If discoloration persists after running your faucet briefly, please call 502-863-7816. For after-hours assistance, call 502-863-7816 and press 3 to leave a detailed message in the water emergency inbox.

For updates and flushing locations, visit GMWSS.com (Advisories Map), our Facebook page, or Nextdoor app.

It has come to our attention that Walmart offers alternative payment options for utility bills for a fee. Please be advised that this is not an official GMWSS payment method and GMWSS cannot guarantee any payment made with a third-party service will be received. There also may be a delay in a third-party’s processing of payment services, which can result in payments being overdue and subject to service termination. Payments made directly through GMWSS’s bill-pay offerings are the only way to ensure immediate posting on a GMWSS customer’s account.

Looking for guaranteed and secure payment options? You may pay on our website at GMWSS.com/payments, by the automated phone system, and at our offices by cash, check or credit/debit. All of our convenient payment options are provided to you free of charge!

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) regulations on lead in drinking water are evolving. The EPA recently revised the 1991 Lead and Copper Rule with the Lead and Copper Rule Revision (LCRR). As part of the revision, GMWSS will be conducting a water service line inventory involving BOTH the customer-owned service line and the utility-owned side of the service line. We are asking our customers for help on their side of the meter. With customer assistance we can reduce the costs of the inventory.

Please conduct the brief survey and help keep everyone’s water rates affordable. As this inventory work progresses and provides valuable information, GMWSS will formulate a cost-effective plan for complying with the EPA’s LCRR and will work with each affected customer on an individual basis to discuss potential safeguards to protect their health.
