Tansi Waste Management, Inc. had been created as a 501c3 corporation. This corporation is totally separate from the Lake Tansi POA. Once certain legal and permit questions are settled and financing obtained, the new corporation will begin to offer sewer services to the Tansi residents in a carefully planned series of steps.

Tansi Waste Management, Inc. (TWMI) has been designated by Cumberland County Mayor Brock Hill as the sewer utility for all the subdivision of Lake Tansi and all properties adjacent to Dunbar Road between O’Henry Dr./Brown Elementary to Shadbury Rd., according to Claude “Duke” Coyne, TWMI president.

“We are the designated sewer utility district for this area. We figure the entire process will be a five-phase project with a timeframe of 5-7 years for total completion,” stated Duke Coyne. Other directors of TWMI include Vice President Ron Alt, Treasurer Dick LeClair, Secretary Herb Pallatt and board member Ken Qualls.

TWMI has applied to the state for an amendment to it's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, which will allow private homes to hook onto the system. The bio reactor membrane treatment facility can process 25,000 gallons per day with expansion capability up to 50,000 gallons per day. This treatment facility has been ordered from Xenon, a division of General Electric.

Currently, the phase one sewer permit only includes the POA amenities. A four-inch trunk line placed 24-36 inches deep is installed beginning at the POA office running past the cabins, down Cravens Dr., under Dunbar Rd. and back to the membrane treatment facility. Another trunk line will service the country club and Hiawatha building. The treatment facility plant will be located behind the new POA maintenance building. The effluent bi-product will be used for golf course irrigation.

Phase two: Connection of the critical area around the lake. A 2-inch line will run from each home to the main trunk line.

Phase three: Expand to those areas in Tansi that are located beyond the most critical areas around the lake.

Phases four and five: The outlaying areas that are logistically and economically feasible.

TWMI President Coyne stated, “Overall, our mission is to provide sewer service to all of the residents in our area, so long as it is economically and logistically feasible. There will be 10,800 feet of trunk line, with approximately 3,700 feet of service line in phase one alone. Obviously, it is a major undertaking."

TWMI has hired W&O; Construction Company of Livingston, TN and the engineering firm, ECE, Environmental & Civil Engineering Services of Crossville for phase one of this project.
