Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Quarterly or monthly depending on the customer’s assigned schedule. Quarterly bills become delinquent 30 days after the billing date; monthly bills become delinquent 15 days after billing.
- Rate structure
- Metered tariff regulated by the Kentucky Public Service Commission, with a fixed service charge based on meter size plus usage measured in hundreds of cubic feet (HCF). The current official rate page links the full schedule, but the reviewed extract did not provide a single 2026 residential total.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- NKWD supplies water; sewer and storm-water charges are generally handled by Sanitation District No. 1 rather than included as a universal NKWD sewer calculation. The reviewed NKWD sources did not publish a winter-average formula.
- Meter reading
- NKWD bills by metered HCF consumption. The reviewed 2026 public pages did not identify a single AMI/AMR technology or universal read day; meter-reading, testing, and maintenance are covered through the fixed service charge.
- New-account deposit
- All new and transferred services require an application, and accounts may be subject to a deposit. Customers with delinquency or a history of refusing to pay past bills may be required to pay a deposit; the reviewed public tariff did not expose a universal dollar amount or credit-check waiver schedule.
