On Monday, May 9^th, HB&TS Utility District officially broke ground on its new pump station located on Old Hillsboro Road just west of Franklin. The new pump station will be able to serve up to 30,000 customers and bring the District well into the future capacity needs for the continued growth of Williamson County.

Earlier this year, HB&TS lost its general manager, Thomas C. Puckett, to a battle with cancer. Mr. Puckett’s impact and legacy from his tenure as general manager for the last 20 years will never be forgotten.

This pump station has been a vision of Mr. Puckett’s for the past several years. While he will be unable to see this vision become a reality, the District’s Board of Commissioners have decided to honor Mr. Puckett through naming the new pump station the Thomas C. Puckett Memorial Pump Station.

Mr. Puckett’s family assisted the District with the ground breaking and look forward to having the patriarch of the Puckett family’s name to live on through this pump station.

Construction will begin during the month of May and should be completed within 18 months. James C. Hailey, of James C. Hailey & Associates designed and engineered the project and W&O Construction will carry out the construction of the project.  

Due to new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and growing concerns over lead in drinking water, H.B.&T.S. Utility District will be conducting a water service line inventory survey at your meter box to determine service line material between now and December 2024.

The survey will consist of a small pothole for a visual inspection of both the Utility’s side, and homeowner side of the meter. The District will restore your property in any disrupted areas. If your home was built after July 1988, your service may not be subject to the survey.

Also, if you are aware of what material your plumbing consists of, please notify H.B.&T.S. Utility District. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
