Election Results

Congratulations to Charlie Smith upon his reelection to the Sewanee Utility District’s board of commissioners.

Round up for Project Help!

Our billing software now has the ability to round up your bill to the nearest dollar with the difference going to our Project Help fund. Project Help collects donations from our customers and passes them on to the Community Action Committee of St. Mark and St. Paul (CAC), where it is used to pay folk’s water and sewer bill when they need a bit of help. The CAC has graciously agreed to use the funds we send them to assist our customers only, but I’m sure they would appreciate any additional donations to help out with some of their other wonderful programs!

Please consider rounding up your bill for this worthy cause – it really makes a difference in our community!

Call the office @ (931) 598-5611 to enroll or if you have any questions.

Help us help you!

Please take a moment to verify your contact information with SUD by either giving us a call @ 598-5611, sending us an email with your information to office@sewaneeutility.org, or confirming with us when you come to the office to pay your bill.

We always try to contact our customers when there is an issue with their account, but if we don’t have correct contact information, we cannot notify you when you have a possible leak, if you forgot to pay your bill, or if there is some other problem with your account.

Flushable is not a thing!

Please do not flush wipes down the toilet. In the last several years we have seen an alarming increase in the number of pump failures due to “flushable” wipes, diapers and towels entering our system. Wipes tend to wrap together and turn into long strings of fabric in the sewer pipes, attracting grease and other solids and eventually clogging the pipes. The wipes that do make it to a grinder pump or pumping station wrap around the impeller of the pump, slowing the rotation down and eventually causing the motor to burn up. Please do not put anything other than toilet paper in a toilet – your pipes will thank you!
