Water Treatment Plant
The K. Thomas Hutchinson Water Treatment Plant for Consolidated Utility District began production in 1983 as a 4 million gallon a day (MGD) plant. As more water was needed, the plant expanded in 1989 to an 8 MGD plant. Today, the plant has quadrupled in size to a state-of-the-art water treatment facility able to pump 16 MGD.
To date, more than 42 billion gallons have been pumped. During the recently completed expansion, new technology was put in place to ensure CUD can exceed the quantity and quality demands of its customers. No area of the production process was left untouched as we prepared for the future.
From the intake located on the East Fork of the Stones River; to pumps which carry the drinking water to our customers’ taps, the treatment plant has been upgraded and renewed to meet the uninterrupted needs of the residents of Rutherford County.
