Utilities Commission

Utilities Encroachment Application
The La Grange Utilities Commission provides water and sewer services to the residents and to some of the surrounding areas of the City of LaGrange, Kentucky. Our water is purchased from the Oldham County Water District.  The water is pumped from wells under the Ohio River bed at Westport, Kentucky and then processed and treated and pumped into our lines. Water meters are read on or around the 15th of each month. In inclement weather, we estimate the readings. The bills are mailed out on the last working day of the month and are due by the 10th of the following month to avoid a penalty.  A 10% penalty is applied to the water and sewer charges if the bill is paid after the 10th of the month.  A past due notice is mailed out approximately 10 days before the actual cut-off date.  The cut-off date is at the end of the month, just before the next month's bill is mailed out. 

For information on water and sewer rates, please contact our office at . An application must be filled out by all new customers and a $45.00 origination fee is required. The La Grange Utilities Commission also bills and collects for garbage service.

Historic Districts Commission

The Central La Grange Historic Districts encompass much of the historic portion of the City of La Grange and provides an excellent picture of what the community was like at the height of its development in the early years of the twentieth century. It includes residential, governmental, religious, and transportation-related resources. La Grange's historic character is derived from its role as a county seat and as a railroad community. The present appearance of the central district is still very much dominated by the courthouse square and the railroad which, with its track slicing down the center of Main Street and its long trains passing regularly through town, provide a strong visual presence.

​The HDC strives to maintain the historic character of the City of La Grange. It was established to oversee the regulation of changes to the property in the La Grange Historic District. Their purpose is to review each application for Certificate of Appropriateness on a case by case basis. The goal is to uphold the regulations and guidelines as closely as possible, offering suggestions and alternatives when they are warranted.

​The Commission meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM at La Grange City Hall in the community room.
