The utility serves approximately 300,000 people in Campbell and Kenton counties and portions of Boone, Grant, and Pendleton counties. This region is part of the growing Cincinnati metropolitan area and has seen significant growth over the past 20 years. The largest municipality within the Northern Kentucky Water District is the city of Covington which has an approximate population of 40,000 people. The area is home to the Cincinnati Airport, Northern Kentucky University as well as several large businesses – e.g. Toyota, Citigroup, Fidelity Investments (2010).

The system has three different water treatment plants with a combined capacity of 64 million gallons per day (MGD). There are sixteen distribution pump stations and 18 water storage tanks. The treated water transmission and distribution system consists of approximately 1,250 miles of a grid of mains ranging from 0.75 inches to 38 inches in diameter. The Northern Kentucky Water District contains 8 different pressure zones and approximately 33 pressure reducing valves. 3.1 Distribution Piping Northern Kentucky’s water distribution system is comprised of raw water pipe sizes ranging from 42 inches to 20 inches in diameter, and transmission pipes ranging in size from 0.75 inches to 38 inches in diameter. There are several different types of pipe material installed within the system. Table 1 below displays the material, along with the range of diameters and the total length of pipe of each material (KIA, 2012). The majority of the pipes in the Northern Kentucky area are cast iron. Ductile iron makes up about one fourth of all the finished pipes in the system, followed by polyethylene (PE) pipes (6%) and PVC pipes (5%). Figure 2 displays an overview of the different components of the Northern Kentucky Water District. Table 1.
