Commission approves $7,100 for Shady Drive waterline extension to serve 13 residents
Summary
Claiborne County approved Res. 2021-074 to fund a waterline extension on Shady Drive in New Tazewell, citing a deteriorated galvanized supply line and sediment issues; the motion passed 19-1.
The Claiborne County Commission approved a $7,100 expenditure from the General Fund on July 19 to allow the Claiborne Utility District to replace a deteriorated water supply line on Shady Drive in New Tazewell.
The resolution (Res. 2021-074), introduced by Commissioner Kim Large, states the existing galvanized pipe — installed around 1970 and supplied by an underground well — is badly deteriorated, carrying rust and sediment and delivering only reduced flow. The resolution notes the well pump is cycled off overnight because of leaks and that 13 residents will be served by connecting to the city water supply. The $7,100 allocation includes engineering fees.
The measure passed by roll call, 19 in favor and one opposed (Commissioner Whitt Shuford). The resolution takes effect upon passage and directs the Claiborne Utility District to proceed with installation.
The record does not list individual project bids or a construction timeline; the resolution authorizes the single payment to enable the utility district to complete engineering and installation work.
