At Simpson County Water District, we take great pride in our role of ensuring high-quality water services to homes and businesses throughout the county. Clean, safe drinking water is a mainstay of healthy, vibrant communities, and we are committed to ensuring these services are affordable and available to our region now and in the future.
Our Customers
 With a diverse blend of residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial customers, SCWD works diligently to serve over 3,500 water customers with an average of 1.2 million gallons of water each day.
The Systems That Serve You
SCWD maintains over 366 miles of pipeline throughout a 260-square-mile area. We test the purity of the water that is delivered to you an average of 10 times each month to ensure its quality around the clock.
Where Your Water Comes From
SCWD purchases most of its water from White House Utility District (WHUD) in Tennessee, which draws water from Old Hickory Lake and treats it in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Both utilities work in close partnership to ensure constant high-quality water to customers. An annual report of our water testing and results can be found on our site’s Water Quality section.
Environmental Stewardship
Environmental stewardship is a SCWD priority with efforts aimed at ensuring water facilities are in place and maintained to meet the growing needs of the region, and that facilities are constructed in environmentally-responsible ways.
SCWD leaders also work closely with the economic development community to keep pace with changing needs and ensure pipelines are in place and in proper working order when needed.
Planning for the future
 In order for our community to grow prosperously, SCWD must work closely with planners to (1) identify growth projections and industry needs, (2) open discussion about the best ways to meet those needs, and (3) ensure adequate water facilities, ample water supply, and reliable water treatment capabilities are in place when needed.
We regularly compare system capacities to existing and projected customer usage to determine where improvements are needed. The challenge is not only to plan for these improvements, but also find the most economical funding sources in order to keep rates as low as possible for our customers. |
