Commission hears Robert Campbell & Associates update on Water/Rosedale water access plan
Summary
Commissioner report: Robert Campbell & Associates is finalizing proposals for Water and Rosedale to provide water service—options include a community well or river intake with filtration and storage to serve about 20–25 homes; possible funding via emergency water funds and regional grants was discussed.
Commissioner Wandale told the operations committee that Robert Campbell & Associates is completing its final package of numbers and proposals for a water project serving Water and Rosedale. The consultant will present the final plan to the full commission when ready.
The options under consideration are either a community well or a river draw with filtration and a community storage tank. The project as described in committee discussion aims to serve roughly 20–25 single‑family homes in the targeted area. Commissioner Wandale said the project would likely rely on emergency water funds and assistance from the East Tennessee Development District, but acknowledged the funding source was not yet finalized.
The chair and other commissioners supported having the consultant present to the full commission when the final figures and proposals are ready. No formal funding decision or contract award occurred during the operations meeting; the discussion was an informational update and referral to full commission for a future presentation and potential action.
Why it matters: The plan would provide basic potable water infrastructure for a small, underserved part of Anderson County. Commissioners asked staff to track funding opportunities and expect the consultant to return with specific costs, required permits and an implementation timeline before the full commission considers appropriation or grant applications.
