Over this last quarter, once again, the employees of Clarksville Gas & Water have given their all to serve their community and continue to keep CGW a leader in our industry.
While most may cringe when they hear the words “state inspection” or “audit,” we welcome them. We view them simply as a gauge of how we are doing and welcome another set of eyes on our operations and records to ensure we remain in compliance. Our regulators continually praise our employees for their cooperation, attention to detail and progressive work toward keeping our processes and operations in step with upcoming regulations.
Recently, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation performed a pretreatment compliance inspection regarding the CGW Wastewater Division’s industrial pretreatment program. The inspection results noted 10 significant industrial users, all possessing proper control mechanisms and having been inspected and sampled by CGW within the required timeframe, with no adverse issues being found. In the inspection letter, the TDEC inspector thanked employees for their cooperation, professionalism and hospitality shown throughout the inspection.
Soon after, TDEC conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the wastewater treatment plant, collection system and combined sewer system to determine compliance with our wastewater operating permit. The final report stated no concerns were found, and Clarksville Gas & Water’s treatment plant, collections system and combined sewer system are well operated and maintained. The facilities are operating in compliance with the permit, and
“system upgrades are always underway or responsibly planned, which results in meaningful impact,” according to the report.
Furthermore, the report states, “Clarksville’s sewer treatment plant continues to improve its operational efficiency, effluent quality, setting a good example for other utilities.” Inspectors thanked all personnel involved for their courtesy, professionalism and assistance during the inspection.
The Natural Gas Division is awaiting final reports from recent inspections by the Tennessee Public Utility Commission and the Kentucky Public Service Commission. The PSC inspection covered a review of multiple plans, including operations and maintenance, emergency, operator qualification and our public awareness policy. The inspector also reviewed valve inspection, odorization, pipeline patrolling, leak survey and employee operator qualification records, as well as cathodic protection readings and sent public awareness notifications.
The TPUC inspection consisted of reviewing pressure regulators and reliefs and odorants. As with past inspections of the natural gas system and employees, the division was compliant in all capacities with no areas of concern noted and no notable revisions required.
Just a few days before writing this message, Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts and our Water Division received the official results of TDEC’s Sanitary Survey of our Water Department.
The survey included a records review to document the operational performance of the water system. An on-site inspection of the water treatment plant and distribution system was conducted.
Mark Riggins General Manager
The Water Division earned a perfect score—599 points out of 599 points. This score is not easy to achieve. Points can be lost for minor infractions, such as a water sample being taken one day late or held one day too long, equipment not being properly calibrated or done in a timely fashion. The final statement of the letter says TDEC appreciates the Water Division’s “commitment to producing quality drinking water for the citizens of Tennessee.”
These examples demonstrate how we are living in our best times at CGW, appreciating good, strong relationships with all our regulators across the state and in all divisions. These bonds, paired with open lines of continual communication, ensure we reside at the cutting edge of our industry and out in front of future regulatory revisions.
Of course, the most significant reason for these “best times” is our employee family—they are the ones who build and preserve these relationships. Once again, I am proud to work among our exemplary and diligent employee family who live out Paul’s directive in Colossians 3:23.
Clarksville Gas & Water employees kicked off June for a busy and fun-filled summer season. sponsored weekly themed collaboration of city that brings purposeful, positive activities and a healthy meal in a safe and engaging environment to Clarksville’s youth throughout the summer.
Clarksville Gas & Water employee volunteers joined area nonprofit service-oriented organizations every Tuesday evening during June and July to support the outdoor events in various neighborhoods, city parks, community centers and schools across Clarksville. Participants displayed an information table and provided interactive games and activities for families.
The season ended on a high note at Crow Community Center, where 32 community partners and nearly 370 attendees celebrated to the theme of “It’s a Pirate’s Life for Me.”
CGW employees earned two MSNL spirit awards for their enthusiastic participation and the “9-Week Streak” award for attending every scheduled event.
“It’s always a little bittersweet as we close the Mayor’s Summer Night Lights season because I love this event,” says Penny Greene, Clarksville Parks & Recreation event planning specialist. “I love all the partners whom I now call friends, and most importantly, I love how we come together and, for two hours a week, make magic together for our community.”
Clarksville Gas & Water looks forward to next season.

Clarksville Gas & Water invites the community to celebrate Public Natural Gas Week at 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 10, at its main office, 2215 Madison St. Clarksville Gas personnel will be available to answer questions about CGW’s gas system and share the latest news about the natural gas industry. A free lunch and giveaways will be available while supplies last.
Why Public Natural Gas Matters
Public Natural Gas Week is Oct. 5-11 this year. It is a time for communities to recognize one of their most valuable assets—their publicly owned natural gas utility. Clarksville Gas & Water is dedicating this week to educating the community about the benefits of having a public natural gas utility, in addition to promoting the overall benefits of natural gas for fueling and heating needs.
There are approximately 1,000 public natural gas utilities in the United States. Most are small, comprising only a few hundred to a few thousand customers. Despite their size, these utilities have a significant impact by providing communities with low-carbon, affordable and efficient natural gas.
Reliable energy access is essential for residents and businesses, and a locally owned public utility ensures that need is met. There are many other benefits of having a public natural gas utility, including:
• Local control: Public natural gas utilities are directly
accountable to the citizens they serve, and decisions regarding your energy needs are made locally through citizen participation instead of being made outside of the community.
• Competitive rates: Public natural gas utilities are locally controlled operations, which helps rates remain competitive and affordable. This is especially important as energy and fuel prices continue to rise and affect your family’s bottom line.
• Economic benefits: Public natural gas can play a valuable role in helping broaden the tax base and keep local dollars close to home. We also work with local financial institutions and make purchases from local businesses. This supports the local economy and creates jobs.
If you have any questions regarding your public natural gas utility or upcoming energy needs, call Clarksville Gas at 931-645-7422.

The Clarksville Gas & Water Wastewater Treatment Plant was awarded the Clean Water Professionals of Kentucky & Tennessee Operational Excellence Award on July 29 at the KY/TN Water Professionals Conference, the largest annual water technical conference and exhibition in Kentucky and Tennessee. The award was presented to CGW for having no more than one violation of its National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System Permit in a 12-month reporting period, Jan. 1, 2024, to Dec. 31, 2024.
CWP-KT, formerly the KY-TN Water Environment Association, is the local member association of the national Water Environment Federation. WEF is a not-for-profit technical and educational organization of 34,000 individual members and 75 affiliated member associations representing water quality
professionals around the world.
Since 1928, WEF and its members have protected public health and the environment. CWP-KT’s mission is to boldly lead a professional community dedicated to safe and clean water through education, innovation and advocacy. To learn more, visit cleanwaterprofessionals.org.
Congratulations to WWTP personnel who operate the plant around the clock to ensure the wastewater system operates efficiently and in accordance with state and federal mandates to protect public health and the environment.
The approximately $53 million Wastewater Treatment Plant thermal dryer construction project, which broke ground in April 2023, is on track to begin test production in late September 2025.
The project includes a thermal dryer facility to treat and stabilize biosolids—solid organic matter recovered from a sewage treatment process—generated in the treatment of wastewater and a biofilter odor control system to mitigate odors generated from the solids-handling processes.
After the startup of the thermal dryer facility, the WWTP will produce Class A biosolids. This project will also provide the first phase of odor control. A second phase is in the planning stage if needed later.
The project experienced a variety of progress delays this year, but crews overcame challenges, and completion is now projected for this fall. Clarksville Gas & Water is excited to bring this project to fruition and realize the benefits of decreased biosolids output as planned.
Clarksville Gas & Water’s water system earned a perfect score of 100 on its recent state sanitary survey conducted by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
The sanitary survey is a thorough inspection that reviews all operational aspects of the water system, from treatment processes and distribution to accurate recordkeeping, ensuring CGW delivers safe and reliable drinking water to the public.
In late July, the TDEC review team made an unannounced visit to the CGW water system to conduct an in-depth inspection over a few days. In early September, TDEC delivered its findings, marking the sixth time CWS received a perfect score.
“I am incredibly proud of our Water Division employees for earning a perfect score of 100,” CGW General Manager Mark Riggins says. “Earning a perfect score on the state
inspection demonstrates and confirms the expertise, professionalism and commitment of every Water Division employee who takes pride in delivering safe and reliable drinking water to our community.”
The sanitary survey reviews operations and maintenance, safety programs, employee training and certification, records and documentation, water treatment techniques, water quality tests and reports, water distribution system, cross connection, backflow prevention, engineering, equipment, facilities and construction procedures.
Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts extends his congratulations to the team.
“My sincere congratulations and appreciation go to General Manager Mark Riggins and the entire team for proudly providing this vital service consistently and efficiently to all residents of our rapidly growing city,” he says. “As Clarksville mayor, I have had the unique privilege of viewing operations of our water treatment system from the inside, and I have become keenly aware of the professionalism of so many employees of Clarksville Gas & Water who quietly but consistently perform their daily work at an extremely high level.
“I am delighted to learn of this perfect score for our water system, but knowing what I know now, I am not at all surprised by it.”
The CGW water system is rated to produce 28 million gallons per day and can peak for periods at 30 MGD. The water treatment process is a conventional primary treatment— coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation—with state-ofthe-art membrane microfiltration. The water system delivers a daily average of 20.42 MGD of safe and reliable drinking water to Clarksville and Montgomery County residents.
Clarksville Gas & Water’s Water Operations Division is performing an extensive and ongoing maintenance program to ensure complete water system operations are in good condition to deliver safe drinking water to customer homes and businesses around the clock.
This summer, water construction crews ramped up efforts on the water valve maintenance and replacement project. The goal of the project is to identify and replace broken water valves or valves that will not seal properly, causing issues in the water system.
When crews attempt to isolate water flow from a repair area, but the closest valves do not work properly, they must move to the next closest operating water valves, causing a greater water outage area.
As part of this project, crews exercise water valves to identify which valves are inoperable. When they find inoperable valves, the utility schedules projects and replaces valves.
Due to the nature of this work, water service in various parts of the Clarksville service area will be turned off to allow for maintenance and repairs. This work is crucial in improving future operations and containing outage areas when water mains need repair.
Although maintenance and repairs in the water system are ongoing, crews have made significant progress in the water
valve replacement project thanks to the community’s patience and understanding.
Cold weather is quickly approaching. Now is the time to winterize your backflow preventer to protect it from freezing temperatures. If a backflow preventer is damaged, it cannot stop water from traveling backward into your water system. A damaged backflow preventer could also allow contaminated water to enter Clarksville’s safe drinking water supply.
Repairs and inspection fees for damaged backflow devices are the financial responsibility of the owner. Backflow preventers are required on all water meters at commercial businesses, some home businesses and all residential irrigation systems.
If you’re unsure of where your device is, call the Cross Connection office at 931-553-2489 for assistance or learn more at clarksvillegw.com.

Few things are better than hot water, whether it’s for dishwashing, showering or laundry. While it is a convenience, water heating can account for up to 18% of your household energy costs. That’s why, as your savings connection, Clarksville Gas & Water provides easy ways to keep dollars from going down the drain. These tips can also help extend the life of your water heater and prevent scalding accidents.
• Set your water heater temperature to 120 degrees. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, setting your water heater temperature too high can waste $36 to $61 a year in standby heat losses. The magic 120 number also helps reduce mineral buildup in tanks and pipes. This temperature is safer for your family, too, preventing scalding or burning accidents.
• Insulate your hot water pipes. This easy improvement can help save on water heating costs and raise your water temperature 2 to 4 degrees. You won’t wait as long for hot water when you turn on the faucet, either.
• Wash clothes with cold water. Using cold water can cut a load’s energy use by more than half. Still concerned about washing on the cold setting? Newer detergents contain enzymes that work just as well in cold water. Cold water is gentler on your clothes and helps protect them from fading, bleeding and shrinking.
• Opt for short showers. Hot water is money, so every drop you don’t use is money saved. Shorter showers mean less work for your water heater and more hot water for the next person who needs it.
• Tap into savings with faucet aerators and lowflow showerheads. When using less water, you use less hot water, too. Achieve water savings of 25% to 60% by installing low-flow fixtures.
• Buy a high-efficiency water heater for long-term savings. Select one that is Energy Star-rated to get the lowest operating cost. Some models can save a household of four around $330 a year in energy costs. By helping you reduce energy use and make your home more energy efficient, Clarksville Gas & Water is connecting you to savings.

Clarksville Gas & Water experienced aesthetic issues with its drinking water in early September, garnering several complaints from customers. CGW assures the public its drinking water remains safe to drink and use.
These issues are caused by the warm and dry weather conditions Middle Tennessee experienced in recent weeks. River flows are reduced from the lack of rain, and several naturally occurring varieties of algae bloom are in the source water. Compounds, including 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin, are released during the algae’s life cycle, causing an earthy or musty taste in drinking water. Humans can detect these materials at low thresholds, 10 parts per trillion or less. MIB and geosmin pose only aesthetic issues with water quality and are not regulated by the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
“I assure residents that Clarksville’s water is safe to drink and use for daily use,” Clarksville Gas & Water General Manager Mark Riggins says. “Although temporary, I understand that the taste and odor from the algae bloom is offensive, and I express my appreciation to the community and ask for understanding as our water system works through the warm and dry conditions and the issues it has naturally produced.”
CGW is committed to providing safe drinking water to its customers and is anticipating these aesthetic issues will subside with rain and cooler temperatures. In the meantime, water can be filtered through a carbon filter that can help alleviate tastes and odors.

Clarksville Gas & Water joined the nation Aug. 11 to observe National 811 Day.
This date serves as a reminder for homeowners and excavators to always place a free call to 811 prior to any digging project to have underground utility lines marked.
When calling 811, a Tennessee 811 dispatcher receives your call and notifies the appropriate utility companies of your intent to dig. Professional locators then arrive at the digging site to mark the
approximate locations of underground lines with flags, spray paint or both to help you avoid damaging a line.
Striking a single line can cause injury or inconvenient outages, and incur repair costs and fines. Contact 811 for all digging projects, no matter how large or small, by phone or at tn811.com.
Even projects around the home— such as installing a mailbox, building a deck, planting a tree or laying a patio— are digging projects that require an 811 request at least three working days before
breaking ground. It’s free, and it’s the law.
“I encourage every resident to join the National 811 Day awareness initiative and protect our essential utility services by always making a free call to 811,” Gas & Water General Manager Mark Riggins says. “It takes minimal effort and time to call 811 before digging, but the impact is great to help prevent damage to our underground utility lines.”
