The water infrastructure in Bradley County is about to get a facelift.
It’s all thanks to a new $1.45 million loan to the Hiwassee Utilities Commission in Bradley County.
The loan is coming from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and has been in the works for the last two years. The commission says the water plant has been running 24/7 for over 40 years.
With the new loan, Douglas Lecomte with the commission says they will be able to complete some major upgrades to the plant.
“The loan will go to filter control valve replacements, plant flow meter replacements, a new air compressor to backup the present air compressor so we don’t have to shut down, and a new maintenance area for which we need more space since we have more new parts coming,” said Lecomte.
He told Local 3 News the upgrades will allow them to improve efficiency and maintain a reliable flow of water to the utility districts they supply to.
