Moving to Bardstown: who to call and what the city asks.

To sign up for water service for the first time, or to change an address or billing information, fill out the Utility Services Contract and submit it to City Hall with a valid ID.

Sidewalk obstruction permits and parking limits for the truck

City code allows the City Engineer, Mayor or Police Chief to permit a temporary obstruction of a sidewalk for receiving, selling or removing fuel, lumber, boxes or merchandise if it is removed within 24 hours.
