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

Water Service Lines Inventory Information
Click for additional information from the Kentucky Division of Water.
Please complete the brief survey to assist in
identifying any lead or galvanized water lines on your
property. (Use your smartphone's camera to scan the QR code on the left). |
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.
