KRS 74.401: Gas system established only if primary supply in district or county.

All other provisions of this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, no water district

created under this chapter shall establish a gas distribution system unless the primary

source of the gas to be distributed is natural gas produced from within the territorial limits

of the district or of a county in which the district is located. A gas distribution system so

established may contract with a seller of gas for supplementing supplies of gas. Nothing

in KRS 74.020, 74.120, 74.400, 74.401 and 74.408 shall be construed to enlarge any

requirement under existing law relating to the furnishing of gas to a water district by any

other supplier. However, nothing in this section shall prohibit the continued operation of

a gas distribution system in operation pursuant to the provisions of this chapter prior to

June 16, 1966.
