Overview

In March 2009, Nashville Metro Water Services entered into a consent decree with federal and state agencies to clean up Nashville’s waterways. Overflows into the Cumberland River, and the tributaries that feed it, would be limited or eliminated. Clean Water Nashville officially kicked off in 2012 as a program with over 70 projects to be completed at a cost of over $1.1B, bringing Metro Water Services’ operations into compliance with the federal Clean Water Act of 1972.
