Arden Woods & Scales Area, Sewer Lift Station Rehabilitation

This project provides for an on-going, proactive program to rehabilitate the City's sewer lift stations including operating equipment that provides alternative pumping methods during an emergency.  The project scope includes construction to abandon the Arden Woods lift station located near 6402 Fisher Ct. and connect the area sewers that discharge to that station to a gravity sewer located on Scales School property.  The Scales area pump station will also be rehabilitated and upsized. 

This work began in the summer of 2024 with construction to install new sewer lines in Fisher Court, over to the Scales School property now compete and the road paved.  There has been a delay during the winter months, awaiting delayed supplies needed for the Scales station rehabilitation.  Demolition of the Arden Woods station is completed with exception for restoration work at and around the site.  Work at the Scales pump station is now ongoing and will continue through the summer of 2025.     

Emergency Operation's Enhancement Plan

The Department is working to enhance emergency operations at several of the City's key water and sewer pumping stations located throughout the City to provide for enhanced resiliency and customer service.  Utilizing federal funding to procure a number of fixed and portable generators and trailered pumping units, the Department is scheduled to begin construction at a number of pumping station sites throughout the district which includes adding generators or providing electrical upgrades that will allow for the portable generator hookups to maintain service during storm events and related power outage.  Work at the various pump station sites is now underway, with crews upgrading sites currently at Split Log Road and Chenoweth pumping stations sites.  This project is scheduled to continue through the winter 2026.       

Neighborhood Water Pipeline Replacement Project

The Carondelet water line project has been ongoing since 2022.  This is a large scale project replacing nearly 20,000 feet of aging water mains in the area in the areas of Old Smyrna Road southward along Davis Drive and Shenandoah Drive to near Hedgewood Dr..  As of May, 2025 work is approximately 95% complete with all the larger piping installed.  The contractor is working on smaller items such as hydrant replacements, connections at water meters and continuing yard and driveway repairs.  Work will continue until mid June.  Funding for roughly half of the construction cost are being provided via the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) grant from the State of Tennessee.    

Sewer Rehabilitation Program - Tower Park Equalization Facility #2

The Water Services Department's, Sewer System Master Plan includes multiple infrastructure projects identified as critical to provide capacity for long-term build out and continued regulatory compliance.  Sewer system equalization tanks (storage) are engineered to manage sewer flows within the system during significant wet weather storm events.  As storm water enters the sewer system, the piping can be overwhelmed and cause overflows during the storm event.  Equalization (or EQ) facilities are designed to help manage the this flow by storing the excessive water intrusion temporarily until such time flows in the system subside.  Then the stored volume can be slowly released back into the system.  

 In 2024, the City began design work on the second of two planned EQ tanks to be located in the Tower Park area of Brentwood.  The first EQ facility was constructed near just south of Old Hickory Blvd. and west of Hillsboro Road and was placed into operation in 2023.  This second EQ facility will include construction of the storage tank, pumping station and underground piping to and from the tank to the sewer system's trunk line located at the northern boundary of Tower Park.  Construction work is anticipated to begin in late fall of 2026 and continue through spring of 2027.
