Earl Patton, board attorney, said, "I don't think the Board of Education needs to be in the sewer business. The problem I have with this agreement is that, if you approve it, you are basically writing a blank check to Tansi Waste Management, Inc."
Patton was concerned there was no information on the rate and fee structure the board would have to pay the corporation for sewer service in the future.
Tansi Waste Management, Inc., (TWMI) was created to supply sanitary sewer treatment services for the Lake Tansi Village Community.
In April, it was reported TWMI was designated by Cumberland County Mayor Brock Hill as the sewer utility for all Lake Tansi properties adjacent to Dunbar Road between O'Henry Dr. at Brown Elementary to Shadbury Road. Currently, phase one of the sewer system construction only includes Lake Tansi Property Owners Association amenities, but future phases will connect private residences. The bio reactor membrane treatment facility will be able to process 25,000 gallons a day, with expansion capable up to 50,000 gallons a day.
TWMI President Claude "Duke" Coyne previously told the Chronicle, "Overall, our mission is to provide sewer service to all of the residents in our area, so long as it is economically and logistically feasible."
Part of that plan involves taking over the sewer line installed along Dunbar Road by the BOE several years ago. Brown Elementary is the only customer using the line, and the BOE pays the city of Crossville for maintenance and sewer service.
The agreement presented asks the BOE to transfer ownership of the line to the city of Crossville, and the city then transfer ownership of the line to TWMI.
TWMI is seeking to take over service of the sewer line 30 days after it receives a license from the state, and agrees to take responsibilities for maintenance, repair and monitoring the line and treating effluent from the school. Should TWMI be unable to treat the effluent or fails to do so, the city would provide sewage treatment and the BOE would be responsible for that cost.
Patton said, "At this point, I can't advise the board to simply give this line away without any kind of assurance our rates will remain the same as they are with the city."
Bob Scarbrough, 5th District representative, said the BOE pays the city $6.75 per 1,000 gallons of water used for sewer service to the school, about $4,700 a year.
Jim Blalock moved to table action on the proposal until pricing was discussed. The motion was supported by Scarbrough and unanimously approved.
