Prior to connecting residences or businesses to the sanitary sewer system owned by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, fees must be calculated and collected. The Services Section calculates the required fees and collects them prior to issuing permits. After the connection is made, inspectors in this section review the construction in the field to assure that proper techniques were followed and all local and state requirements are met. In this way we can protect the integrity of our system and prevent unnecessary inflow and infiltration of storm water into the lines designed to carry sanitary sewage.

Hours for the Sewer Tap-on Fee Desk, 8th Floor, Government Center, are 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

GIS

In the past often stormwater was placed into the sanitary sewer system by way of basement sump pumps and connection of downspouts. This additional water often overloads the sanitary sewer lines and causes overflows as well as backups into homes. The Sump Pump/Roof Drain Redirection Pilot Project was designed to locate and relocate these problem generators of inflow. The program is voluntary and this point and the Engineering Technicians from the Services Section interview homeowners and decide if the location meets program requirements. If the relocation is authorized, they work with local plumbers to redirect the flow and inspect the work to assure proper construction.

Landfill

Since 1995 the "Haley Road" Landfill has been operated as a Construction Demolition Debris facility. Prior to that, the landfill accepted the municipal solid waste from Lexington that is now trucked to a private landfill. Even though the facility is known as the "Haley Road" Landfill, it is situated on Hedger Lane, an access road that turns off Rockwell Road. Rockwell Road is the frontage road that turns off Haley Road near Avon and follows along Interstate 64 at Exit 87.

Garbage is not put into this landfill. But, construction debris, brush, appliances (nothing with freon), etc. are accepted from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., weekdays, and 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays. If you have any questions about what is accepted, call 299-5715 and talk with the weigh master. The Services Section is responsible for the daily operation of the landfill and all testing and monitoring, and reporting required by local, state, and federal regulations. Care is taken to prevent any pollution to the surface waters of this area as well as the ground water. Gases discharged into the air are monitored and controlled.
