  1. Watkins Creek Franklin, TN Case Study

  2. Project Summary Location: Franklin, Tennessee Acreage: 230 Units: 174 Product Type: Planned unit development featuring large open common areas. Master Plan:Strategically located near a new middle school and park in a pedestrian friendly area, developed in 5 phases. Topography: Gently sloping Soil: Stiversville/Nesbitt

  3. Phase I. Summary Watkins Creek Units: 58 residential homes Home Prices:$450,000 to $500,000 Absorption Rate: 3-4 years

  4. Project Considerations • Municipal sewer service was not available • Community was planned with plenty of open areas and walking opportunities • Highest and best use achieved through clustered development with substantial open space • Most of the soils on the property were not suitable for a septic tank/leach field system. • Lot yield was increased from 40 to 174 with community wastewater system

  5. Solution • Collection System • Gently sloping site allows all homes to be served by STEG systems. • Treatment • Recirculating Sand/Gravel Filter • Disposal • Subsurface Drip Irrigation

  6. Ownership & Management • Once system is constructed and approved, ownership is transferred to Utility as “Contribution In-Aid” (non-taxable transaction). • Utility will own, operate and maintain system in perpetuity. (including individual and central system components ) • Utility is the holder of a state operating permit issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Environment, Division of Water Pollution Control • Utility is recognized as a regulated Public Utility Company by the Tennessee Regulatory Authority

  7. Developer Benefits • Turn-key solution • Greatly improved land utilization and lot yield • Maximize development design flexibility • Utility company assumes operational liability • State of Tennessee monitors system performance and financial viability of Utility • Ability to re-use treated effluent for community irrigation • Proven technology
