KLC Utilities Partnership Announces 2026 Events

The Kentucky League of Cities Utilities Partnership is growing with the addition of two new utilities in the last month (Carrollton Utilities and Henderson Water Utility). The partnership specifically addresses the needs of municipal utilities of all types and all sizes, including water, wastewater, electric, telecom, and more. Formed in 2024, participants benefit from KLC’s resources and partnerships to meet their ongoing, ever-changing needs. Currently, KLC is developing rate study tools and building partnerships for training and other resources.

KLC Utilities Partnership events are for municipal utilities executives, general managers, supervisors, and commission/board members.
