La Vergne Water Plant at a Glance

The facility currently produces an average of four million gallons of high quality drinking water per day utilizing coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and multimedia filtration processes.

The plant has a state certified, in-house bacteriological laboratory that undergoes regular state and federal inspections for quality assurance and quality control. The finished water is disinfected using Sodium Hypochlorite. Fluoride is added for dental health.

Collecting Samples

Inframark Services collects water quality samples from various points throughout the treatment facility several times a day, 24 hours per day, and 365 days per year. As specified by state and federal regulations, technicians collect and analyze 40 samples per month from homes throughout the city.

To ensure that the samples represent the entire water distribution system, the system is divided into 30 zones. One sample is collected from each zone every month for laboratory analyses to guarantee that the water is of the highest level of quality and safety.

Protecting Citizens

Always putting the health of La Vergne citizens first, the water distribution network is designed with a cross-connection system that protects customers from contamination through back-siphoning from various commercial taps.

As required by regulations of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, technicians inspect and certify performance of approximately 1,200 backflow prevention devices throughout the distribution system annually.
