Plumbing in Northern Kentucky: what local plumbers see most
Northern Kentucky ranges from 1800s rowhouses in Covington and Newport, to post-war homes in Fort Thomas, Erlanger and Fort Mitchell, to newer subdivisions in Florence, Independence, Union and Hebron. The river cities often need sewer lateral, lead service line and repiping work, while the growing suburbs mostly need water heaters, sump pumps and fixtures.
Across most of the region, water comes from Northern Kentucky Water District (NKWD), the sewers are run by Sanitation District No. 1 (SD1), and natural gas comes from Duke Energy. Kentucky licenses plumbers at the state level, so ask for your contractor's Kentucky plumbing license number.
