Plumbing Services - Volume Discounts

We will be keeping the community posted on all of the various plumbing vendors and volume discounts available to us. For example, a local plumber, who has done a good job for the Felts family, has said he would be very interested in installing our grinder pumps and would be willing to work with us for a volume discount. Great!

Perhaps you, like me, would be interested in participating in such a program with this or other vendors.

If so, please leave your email address is the comment section. I'll include your contact info in the distribution list.

Grassland sewer project ready to start in July

Grassland sewer project ready to start in July

By Kevin Walters • The Tennessean • July 1, 2009

GRASSLAND COMMUNITY -- Years of waiting for the launch of Williamson County's first sewer project comes to an end in July.

County commission members are expected at their July 13 meeting to approve the start a $2.1 million project that will install sewer lines for homeowners throughout four subdivisions in Grassland.

The roughly 450 homes have septic systems and county officials say about 20 percent of those systems are now failing -- though the percentage is likely higher.

Information about the project can be found at the county's Web site.

If the homeowners agree to install a new grinder pump and tap onto the system, they'll pay between $18,000 to $20,000 for the work total in tap fees to the county, the city and in buying a grinder pump.

The pumps will be homeowners responsibilities to maintain.

More than 100 homeowners attended an 1.5 hour session Tuesday at the Williamson County Administrative Complex where they peppered County Mayor Rogers Anderson with questions about the project.

Part of the project's delays stems from county officials' inexperience with this sort of project, Anderson said.

"We've never done this before," he said.

The sewage will be treated by the city of Franklin who will own the sewer system once the project is complete. Homeowners here will not be annexed. They live outside both Franklin's city limits and its urban growth boundaries.

Work is expected to take around 18 months and last possibly until December 2010.

Sewer meeting set for Tuesday, 6/30

Williamson County officials will meet with Meadowgreen subdivision homeowners at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the County Administrative Complex for an update on the county sewer project.

County officials are providing sewer lines to residents living in the Meadowgreen, Hillsboro Acres, Brownwood and Farmington subdivisions in the Grassland area, where septic systems have begun to fail.

Late last year, Franklin leaders agreed to provide sewer treatment service for the project, even though the area is outside the city limits and its urban growth boundary.

The county complex is at 1320 W. Main St.
