New Developments


Planning a New Development?

Welcome — we look forward to working with you!

Friendsville Utility regulates and monitors the installation of all new water and wastewater lines within the utility boundaries. Our engineers will work directly with you to ensure your project has the necessary water supply and sewer capabilities.
We strive to make the approval process for new services as streamlined and straightforward as possible.
