Case Study: Kentucky Sanitation District #1 achieves transparent, HB 26-compliant records management with Laserfiche

Kentucky Sanitation District #1’s Transparent Records Management Implementation

Sanitation District #1 (SD1) — the second-largest public sewer utility in Kentucky — faced a heavy volume of records and a new compliance burden from the State’s Local Government Retention Schedule and House Bill 26, which requires public access to expenditure records for three years. SD1 needed a transparent, auditable records-management system that would apply consistent retention rules, make financial records publicly accessible online, and simplify audit and legal-hold processes.

SD1 implemented Laserfiche Records Management Edition with records series, automated workflows and the WebLink public portal to route, tag, publish and apply retention to records from ingestion onward. The result: full compliance with retention rules and HB 26, streamlined audits (auditors access records directly), the ability to place legal holds, automated three‑year disposition, and improved disaster recovery through Laserfiche Rio backups.
