Today, Nashville drinking water comes from the Cumberland River before entering one of two treatment plants: K.R. Harrington and Omohundro. The treatment plants disinfect water using small amounts of fluoride and bleach. Then Nashville drinking water travels across over 3,000 miles of water pipes before reaching city residents.
According to the recent Nashville Water Quality report, water meets EPA regulations. However, like many older American cities, Nashville still has cast iron pipes, which can corrode and contaminate Nashville water with lead and copper, resulting in a cloudy, rusty taste.
Early settlers chose the site for Fort Nashboro because of the abundance of pure water from a local spring. As the city of Nashville grew, residents began pumping water to a reservoir in the public square through hollow locust and cedar logs. But in 1829, a fire destroyed the water distribution system, and Nashville had to rebuild a new infrastructure using cast iron pipes.
In response to several cholera outbreaks in 1878, city engineers installed an island filtering gallery at the mouth of Brown’s Creek. The facility reduced waterborne bacteria by removing mud and other contaminants. To improve Nashville water quality, city officials began adding sulfate of alumina, a chemical that coagulates muddy river water into larger, heavier pieces which settle. The City Reservoir, later renamed the 8th Avenue Reservoir, was completed in 1889 as a settling basin, allowing mud to settle out of the river before distributing the water. The Omohundro Water Treatment Plant was later constructed in 1929 to help further improve Nashville drinking water.

Yes, according to the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, the city’s tap water is safe to drink. To ensure quality, Metro Water Services funnels water collected from the Cumberland River into two treatment plants, where it’s treated, filtered and tested for contamination by certain organic and inorganic substances. Complete water quality reports are publicly available at water.nashville.gov.
Although tap water may be safe to drink, chlorine, dissolved minerals and corroded pipes can cause variations in its color, clarity and taste. A sustainable water filtration system can ensure a convenient supply of great-tasting filtered water to your business.
Yes, limestone deposits in and around the Cumberland River, which supplies the city, cause moderately hard water in Nashville. Hardness occurs when water contains calcium, magnesium and other dissolved minerals.
Although hard water isn’t a health risk, it can leave a buildup on plumbing fixtures, such as faucets, and may cause spotting on dishes and glassware. It can also affect the taste of your drinking water. If you’re concerned about providing great-tasting hydration for your home or office, contact Culligan Quench to learn more about their clean drinking water solutions.
