New Membrane Water Plant In Hawkins County

For over 40 years, the First Utility District of Hawkins County has served the City of Church Hill and surrounding areas in upper east Tennessee. During that time, new service areas have been added and regulations governing treatment have become increasingly stringent. According to General Manager Allen Jones, these factors made it difficult for the District’s existing plants to be in regulatory compliance and to meet demand, especially in periods of insufficient rain.

Raw Water Intake Expansion

In 2005, the City of Cookeville, Tennessee, hired CTI Engineers, Inc. (CTI) to develop a long-term master plan for expansion of the City’s existing 15-MGD water treatment plant. The resultant study examined both conventional and membrane filtration alternatives. A water consumption demand of 22.5 MGD was determined as the needed capacity for the year 2025, and cost estimates were prepared for facilities sized to meet that demand.
