Waste Water

The primary source of sewerage treatment service in Northern Kentucky is the Sanitation District No. 1, serving municipalities and unincorporated areas in Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties.

The Sanitation District has been selected as the first place winner of the U.S Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 2004 National Clean Water Act Recognition Award for an outstanding storm water management program.

The Sanitation District operates one secondary treatment facility with a design capacity of 46,500,000 gallons per day. Two other secondary treatment plants are planned to accommodate Northern Kentucky’s sustained growth, one in western Boone County and one in eastern Campbell County.
