Potable Water Program

The Potable Water Program is provided to protect the people of Franklin-Williamson Counties from contracting & transmitting waterborne diseases by trying to provide safe, potable supplies of water for drinking, culinary & sanitary purposes.  Our counties have an extensive municipal supply of water, thus our agency’s focus primarily is on semi-private & private water supplies.  We also have the capabilities to handle non-community supplies.  During a water emergency requiring public notice we would try to assure the provision of potable water for all constituents.
