To maintain the high level of service our community expects, it is often necessary to replace or rehabilitate infrastructure.
In each of our projects, we strive to minimize disruption to the community as much as possible. However, during infrastructure projects, residents will see an increase in truck traffic and may experience noise and dust associated with construction.
If a scheduled service interruption is necessary as part of a project listed below, customers will be notified 24 hours in advance either in person or with a door hanger.
Upon project completion, final paving of damaged roadways will be done after a settling period.
Our goal is to complete projects as quickly as possible, but MWS will not compromise the safety of residents or workers. Construction delays may occur due to weather or other safety concerns.
We appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,
Scott Potter, Director
38th Avenue Water Storage Tank
- Project Number: 16WC0018
- Project Summary: The project is located between 38th Ave N. and 37th Ave. N. The project consists of the demolition of the existing water storage tank and the construction of a new 2.5 million gallon above ground water storage tank. Construction also includes almost 1,000 linear feet of 12” and 24” water main, a new fire hydrant, and 679 linear feet of stormwater infrastructure. Other miscellaneous site improvements such as a sidewalk and fencing are included in the project scope. Our contractor will attempt to minimize disruption to the community as much as possible. However, nearby residents will see an increase in truck traffic and may experience noise and dust associated with demolition and construction. Customers will be notified prior to any scheduled service interruption 24 hours in advance either in person or with a door hanger. Once the project is complete, the community will have new water reservoir providing improved water quality, reduced risk of pressure surges (reduced potential for line breaks and water loss), and additional emergency storage.
A community meeting will be held 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 29, 2024, at the McCabe Community Center, 101 46th Avenue N., Nashville, TN 37209.
