White House Utility District

Utility district, water and sewer. Davidson, Robertson and Sumner counties. 2 people from White House UD at the conference.

This page is built from one public record: the Annual Information Report that every publicly owned water, sewer and gas system in Tennessee files with the Comptroller's Board of Utility Regulation, published as filed on September 29, 2026. White House UD's is dated May 20, 2026. It is what a customer, a reporter or a bond analyst can already see about White House UD, set beside the 459 other systems that file the same form. The question the booth is asking is whether they can see it in a form they can use.

ADA Title II deadline: April 26, 2028. The Department of Justice rule gives public entities with a total population of 50,000 or more until April 26, 2027 to bring web content and dashboards to WCAG 2.1 AA, and every other public entity, including every special district government, until April 26, 2028. White House UD is a utility district, a special district government, so the date does not depend on population.

Customers served

Active accounts as White House UD reported them in its Annual Information Report to the Tennessee Comptroller's Board of Utility Regulation, filed May 20, 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. White House UD filed 4,213.0 million gallons supplied and 3,600.4 million gallons sold for its last fiscal year, filed May 20, 2026.

  7. Cleveland Utilities Authority 29.2%
  8. West Knox Utility District 18.1%
  9. Hallsdale-Powell Utility District 30.4%

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. White House UD's answer, filed May 20, 2026, beside the median of every Tennessee water system that answered and the eight nearest by size.

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 White House UD'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. White House UD answered one year ago. Of the 459 systems filing, 137 said more than five years and 39 said never.

  1. Under 1 year 77
  2. 1 yearWhite House UD 60
  3. 2 years 45
  4. 3 years 31
  5. 4 years 42
  6. 5 years 28
  7. More than 5 137
  8. Never 39

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