Dickson County, Tenn., located 50 miles west of Nashville, is proactively taking steps to address its aging collection system.The County is doing this not because it is being forced to by regulatory pressures, but because it's the right thing to do.Although its system is well within compliance guidelines, the Water Authority of Dickson County (WADC) is not resting on its laurels. The WADC was formed as a regional water and wastewater service provider in 2002 by the consolidation of the City of Dickson Water and Wastewater System, Turnbull-White Bluff Utility District and Harpeth Utility District. Combining these entities resulted in centralized service to approximately 75 percent of the land mass and population of Dickson County, as well as portions of surrounding counties. Since the consolidation, WADC has been used as a model throughout Tennessee for other utility districts interested in combining to provide regional services.
