South Blount County Utility District
South Blount Count Utility District has been providing reliable water service to our customers since 1958. We started over 60 years ago with only 1,300 customers. Today, our service has flourished into over 15,000 homes, businesses, and schools in Blount County, Friendsville, and Louisville, which is approximately 30% of the county’s population. Our service area covers 150 square miles and is one of the fastest growing areas in East Tennessee, as we have consistently added 400 new customers each year for the past five years.
In the summer of 2004, we began operation of our new state-of-the-art Water Treatment Facility located on the southern most end of State Route 129. Our new facility gave us the independence we needed to continue to provide our rapid growing service area with abundant, reliable water service for many years to come.
The service of providing quality tap water is often taken for granted when we turn on a faucet in our homes, but we can tell you from experience, it is no easy task to provide this quality service. We manage one of the greatest natural resources on this earth, one which is essential for life. Our earth is covered in 70% water and only 1.6% is fresh water.
We operate on the principle of pro-actively planning today, so we will be prepared tomorrow. As a customer, you are very important part of this business, and we thank you. Our Senior Leadership and staff are committed to our customer’s needs, and we welcome the opportunity to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Please feel free to contact our office at any time.
