Board approves out-of-city sewer connection for property identified in agenda
Summary
The Board approved an ordinance on consent allowing a property identified as Map 31, Parcel 32.01 (address listed in agenda as 3150 Nonnaville Road) to connect to the Mount Juliet sewer system; commissioners noted state law now requires connection when a sewer force main is adjacent.
On the consent agenda the board approved an ordinance authorizing a connection to the Mount Juliet sewer system for a property identified in the agenda as Map 31, Parcel 32.01 (listed at one point as 3150 Nonnaville Road) that lies outside city limits in Wilson County.
Commissioner Malelli noted a prior city resolution (Feb. 2021) required annexation for sewer connections, but said the state legislature enacted a law at the end of its last session, "signed by the governor," that requires a municipality to permit connection if a sewer force main on an adjacent property provides access. "I was disappointed that we don't really get a vote in that, but it is state law," she said, noting the change limits local discretion. The ordinance was included on consent, and the mayor announced the consent agenda "does pass."
The transcript does not record a roll-call tally; the consent agenda included other contract awards described separately. The agenda materials identify the sewer request as related to the parcel in Map 31, Parcel 32.01; the address shown in the agenda text varies in the transcript (3150 / 3050 variants), so the parcel identifier is the clearest record of the property under consideration.
