N CLOVER HILL RIDGE WATER MAIN UPGRADE & PUMP STATION INSTALLATION

Project Location: Starting at the intersection of N Clover Hill Ridge Rd and Highway 411 S., the new line will replace approximately 6,900 feet of existing main line that runs along the road, ending atop the hill across Dotson Memorial Drive.
Project Description: This new 8-inch water main project connects Clover Hill Ridge Road to Dotson Memorial Road for increased hydraulics, along with a new water pump station for additional water pressure for the high elevations on Clover Hill Ridge Road and Dotson Memorial Road. The project will begin at the intersection of North Clover Hill Ridge Road and Highway 411, and extend 6,900 feet to Dotson Memorial Road, connecting to the existing intersections at Clover Hill Ridge Road and Rambling Road. Construction will be self-performed by SBCUD employees and is scheduled to begin in October - November 2020, with completion in 2021. SBCUD is pleased to announce that this project, along with all other District projects, will be entirely funded with operational reserves.
Project Status: At this time the project is still in the planning phase. There will be some properties that SBCUD will request to purchase a permanent, marginal water line easement. Please review this planning document for proposed roadside construction and easement locations.

ROBERT C JACKSON EXTENSION

Project Location: Beginning at the intersection of Robert C Jackson Rd & Hwy 321 and ending at Morganton Rd.
Project Description: The City of Maryville is connecting Hwy 321 and Morganton Rd by way of extending Robert C Jackson Road. Since this is part of our service area, we installed over 5,300 feet of 8-in water line along the road extension, connecting the existing lines on Hwy 321 and Morganton Rd. The new water line will improve the hydraulics for Big Springs Rd and Morganton Rd areas. This project was entirely self-performed by South Blount Utility.
