Smyth County Water & Sewer Department

Welcome

For over 30 years the Smyth County Water and Sewer Department has been delivering quality water and wastewater services to its residents, industries, and commercial customers throughout Smyth County.

The Departments number one goal is to plan, implement and provide water and wastewater services throughout all of Smyth County, when feasible.

Smyth County provides its customers with water from six different sources.  The County owns two of these sources.  The first being the Watson Gap well site near the Saltville area.  This well is an artesian well or free flowing well.  On average it produces 350,000 gallons per day.  It provides water to customers in and around the Saltville area as well as the Rich Valley area.

The second County source is the Hutton Branch well site.  This site contains the first and only water treatment plant that Smyth County currently operates.  This facility is currently capable of producing 100,000 gallons per day, and serves the Hutton Branch area of the County.

The remaining fours sources of water utilities belong to the Thomas Bridge Water Corporation and the Towns of Chilhowie, Marion, and Saltville.  On the average Smyth County purchases around 340,000 gallons per day from these four sources.

Smyth County provides water services to over 2,200 customers utilizing nearly 110 miles of water line.  Nine tank sites and eight pump stations work accordingly to insure both adequate pressure and quantity.

Sewer services provided by Smyth County Currently include 32 miles of sewer line and 1 pumping station.  There are approximately 900 sewer customers on these existing lines.  Areas around the towns of Marion and Chilhowie are currently being served.
