Outstanding

The City of Bristol received a rating of 99 out of 100 from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Water Supply, for this year’s sanitary survey of our water system.  This rating is one of the highest in the state.

The city met all of the standards and requirements of the Division of Water Supply in the areas of system management and operation; operator compliance; source of supply; treatment; monitoring and data verification; finished water storage; pump facilities and controls; and distribution system and cross connections.  By doing so, our utility retained its status as an elite provider of water services in the state.  It reflects a commitment to professionalism in delivering a quality product to the community.

Special recognition is in order for Deputy City Manager Bill Sorah, Water Plant Superintendent David St. John, Utility Maintenance Superintendent Frank Neal, and the entire Utility Services Division for a job well done.
