Greeneville Water Commission

Customers served

Active accounts as Greeneville Water reported them in its Annual Information Report to the Tennessee Comptroller's Board of Utility Regulation, filed June 29, 2026. Every publicly owned water, sewer and gas system in Tennessee files the same form once a year. The Comptroller publishes it as filed and does not audit it.

Water loss against the state's 40% line

The Board of Utility Regulation opens a water loss case on any system whose non-revenue water, the water it supplied minus the water it sold, is 40% or more by volume. It calculates that from the Annual Information Report. Greeneville Water filed 2,710.3 million gallons supplied and 2,268.9 million gallons sold for its last fiscal year, filed June 29, 2026.

the 40% linescale 0 to 50%

Non-revenue water is leaks, meter error, unbilled and unauthorised use. Water sold includes wholesale sales to neighbouring systems. A negative figure means a system filed more water sold than supplied. All figures as filed; the Comptroller does not audit them. The Board's own water loss review uses the AWWA audit worksheet, which a referred system files separately.

The bill for 5,000 gallons

The same filing asks each system what it bills a residential customer for 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 gallons in a month. Greeneville Water's answer, filed June 29, 2026, beside the median of every Tennessee water system that answered and the eight nearest by size.

Same eight systems, 5,000 gallons

1. Warren County Utility District $50.45
2. Alcoa $51.79
3. Tullahoma Utilities Authority $24.90
4. Greeneville $19.86
5. LaFollette $59.86
6. Lexington $59.57
7. Anderson County Water Authority $49.00
8. Lincoln County $59.07
9. Brentwood $35.18

Water charges only, inside-city or standard residential rate as each system chose to report it; sewer and gas are not in these figures. A few systems that sell only wholesale file a nominal amount, which pulls the state median down a little. As filed; the Comptroller does not audit it. If Greeneville Water's figure is not what a customer pays, use the correction form and it will be fixed against your rate schedule.

Years since the last rate study

The filing asks when a third party last studied the rates. Greeneville Water answered 2 years ago. Of the 459 systems filing, 137 said more than five years and 39 said never.

1. Under 1 year 77

4. 3 years 31
5. 4 years 42

The Board recommends a rate study at least every five years and orders one for a system in financial distress. Answers as filed.

Where Greeneville Water sits

Greene County holds most of Greeneville Water's customers. Greene County's government is not at the conference, so it has no page of its own here.
