Focused Investment to Meet Regulatory Standards.
To correct compliance issues in the 2000s, TDEC issued a Consent Order requiring major improvements. The Utility hired engineering experts to determine the best long-term solution; one that would eliminate the violations and prepare the plant to serve growing communities. To complete this work, the Utility invested approximately $53 million in upgrades and improvements. This focused investment serves as the foundation of our commitment to the community and our dedication to clean water. #CommittedToExcellence #HPUDBillAtWork
Stronger Systems. Cleaner Waterways.
In 2000, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) began working with the Utility to address ongoing violations at the Beaver Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). At the time, the plant was out of compliance with its discharge permit nearly every month, and those violations continued for several years, impacting Beaver Creek. This era marked a turning point for the Utility, sparking a deep-rooted commitment to transform these challenges into a gold standard for environmental stewardship. #CommittedToExcellence #HPUDBillAtWork
