🇺🇸 | October 28 | National First Responders Day |

Did you know that Public Works professionals are first responders, too?

Today, the City of Sevierville Public Works Department proudly recognizes the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics, 911 operators, and all emergency personnel who work every day to keep our community safe.

We’re proud to stand alongside these dedicated professionals and support their efforts through the work we do every day. From keeping roadways safe and traffic systems operating to maintaining emergency vehicles and equipment, clearing storm debris, responding to roadway hazards, and maintaining the infrastructure our community depends on, Public Works plays an important role in emergency preparedness, response, and recovery.

When severe weather or other emergencies strike, our crews help clear the way for emergency responders, remove debris, and restore safe access so our community can begin getting back to normal. Much of this work happens behind the scenes, but it makes a real difference when our community needs us most.

To all who answer the call to serve, thank you for your dedication, hard work, and commitment to keeping Sevierville safe. We’re proud to be part of the team that serves our community, before, during, and after an emergency.

🍂 LEAF COLLECTION BEGINS OCTOBER 19! 🍂

The City of Sevierville Public Works Department’s annual leaf collection will begin October 19, 2026, and is scheduled to continue through mid-January 2027.

Residents have two options for leaf collection:

🍁 BAGGED LEAF COLLECTION

Bagged leaves, along with other bagged yard waste, will be collected during the City’s regular bulk rubbish/junk collection on a bi-weekly basis.

Residents may call 865-429-4567 to request a work order, or simply place bagged leaves at the curb.

🚫 NO SPECIAL PICKUPS WILL BE MADE.

🍂 VACUUM LEAF COLLECTION

Public Works crews will make every effort to be in each neighborhood every two weeks to vacuum loose leaves.

The City is divided into three sections, and once crews complete a full sweep of the City, they will begin again. This process will continue throughout the leaf collection season.

Please keep in mind that peak periods and equipment breakdowns may cause collection to take longer than two weeks.

🚫 NO SPECIAL PICKUPS WILL BE MADE.

✅ TIPS FOR VACUUM LEAF COLLECTION

🍂 Rake leaves into rows no more than 3 feet wide.

🚗 Please do not park vehicles in front of leaf piles. Blocked piles will not be collected until the crew returns to the area and the pile is accessible.

🪨 Keep leaves free of limbs, rocks and other debris. Mixed piles will not be collected until the crew returns and the materials have been separated.

🚫 Do not place leaves in the street.

Sevierville water system customers:

You may notice discoloration in your water today. The discoloration is usually caused by rust, manganese, sediment, or naturally occurring minerals being stirred up in the water lines due to hydrant flushing, maintenance work, or changes in water flow. While it may not look appealing, water testing indicates there is not a health concern.

Our crews are currently flushing known affected areas throughout the system, and if needed, we will send service workers to perform additional flushing in your area. If your water does not clear up in the next 24 hours, please let us know and we will investigate further. If you have any questions or would like additional service, please contact the Sevierville Water and Sewer Department at 865-453-5522.

What a great day at our Roadeo on Thursday!

Our employees put their skills, precision, and professionalism, to the test in a series of equipment challenges that showcased the talent and dedication they bring to work every day. Competitors participated in 4 events featuring a backhoe, knuckle-boom truck, side-loading garbage truck, and skid steer.

Events like the Roadeo not only promote safety and operational excellence, but also provide opportunities for teamwork, friendly competition, professional development, and the chance to build camaraderie among coworkers. The winners will represent the City of Sevierville at the statewide Roadeo competition in Knoxville later this year.

A BIG thank you to all participants, organizers, volunteers, and supporters who helped make this year’s event a success! We are proud of the hard work, skill, and commitment demonstrated by everyone involved!
