Ky. Rev. Stat. § 75A.110
The trustees of the district wherein water pipes have been constructed and are maintained in the public ways thereof may by resolution duly adopted cause the erection of fire hydrants and attachments to the water pipes in the public ways, after the trustees have made a written contract for water to be furnished for use in the hydrants. The cost of the erection and attachments shall be apportioned by the trustees against the owners of the property fronting the public ways in which the fire hydrants are erected, by any equitable mode of apportionment which the board prescribes in the resolution ordering the erection of the fire hydrants and a lien shall exist against the property against which the apportionment runs for the cost of the improvement in the amount of the apportionment and interest thereon at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum. The lien is enforceable by proceedings in court. The erection and installation of fire hydrants may be under contract let to the lowest and best bidder after advertisement by publication pursuant to KRS Chapter 424.
