Special Projects
KUB regularly communicates with customers and the community about major utility projects through news releases, construction letters to residents, and signs in the construction area. When there is particular interest about a project in an area, we may also have public meetings.
This page offers additional information, such as fact sheets, news releases, or maps, for some long-term major projects that may be of interest to the community. If you have questions or would like to make comments on a project, you can e-mail comm@kub.org or call 524-2911.
Lower Third Creek Wastewater Storage Tank and Trunkline/Third Creek Greenway Detour
This project involves replacing 2,100 feet of wastewater trunkline along Third Creek. KUB will also construct a 6.5 million gallon wastewater storage tank at the west end of the Kuwahee Wastewater Treatment Plant on Neyland Drive and build a pump station near where Third Creek empties into the Tennessee River. The small parking lot in that area will be closed as part of the pump station project. The greenway detour will be in effect during the construction.
Projected construction: January 2010 to spring 2011.
Proposed UT Substation
KUB is exploring options to construct a new electric substation in the Dale Avenue/Seventeenth Street area to support growth at UT and provide increased reliability to UT, area hospitals, DOW, and the Fort Sanders community.
If you missed the UT Substation public meeting held December 10, you can ask questions or make comments by e-mailing comm@kub.org.
