White House Utility District currently provides wastewater collection service to more than 2,000 customers in Sumner County. Launched in 1995, the WHUD sewer system brought much anticipated public service to large areas of the county. In a 1995 newspaper article, then County Executive Tommy Marlin was quoted as saying, “I don’t think there is any doubt this will mean a new day for Sumner County in terms of growth.” Today, the WHUD sewer system transports wastewater from homes and businesses to the City of Nashville’s wastewater system for treatment and safe disposal. As the region continues to grow and prosper, these wastewater facilities will continue to provide a vital environmental protection function, minimizing the need for individual, on lot septic systems.

Sewer Averaging Program

As is common among sewer service agencies, White House Utility District estimates your sewer system usage and subsequent bill, based on your water use, which is measured through a water meter. This recognizes that water taken into the home generally leaves the home through the sanitary system. To account for outdoor uses that may not impact the sewer system, we use an “averaging program” from April through September each year. This program prevents our customers from paying sewer charges on additional watering (irrigating, swimming pools, etc.) that commonly take place during this time period. Averages are based on water usage from October through March and customers are not charged over that amount for sewer billing while the program is in effect. Averages are automatically calculated each year. If you are a new customer, you may qualify for this program by submitting your six month usage history from a previous utility company to our Customer Service Department.
