Nashville water quality: then

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.

Worried about contaminants in your drinking water? We offer a full complement of water filtration and sanitization technologies to remove sediment, reduce chemical contaminants, including lead, and get rid of off-tastes and odors. Depending on your local water quality, your Water Expert may recommend our NSF-certified carbon filtration, which works great for water with TDS (total dissolved solids) levels under 250 ppm (parts per million) or our NSF-certified reverse osmosis (RO) filtration, which is the standard for water with TDS levels over 250ppm.
