The Metro Nashville department page for water, sewer and stormwater services.
Metro Water Services is the department that handles water, sewer and stormwater in Nashville. It matters to dumpster projects in practical ways: keeping debris and runoff out of storm drains, knowing where water lines and meters sit and understanding who to call after a flood or a main break. Anyone placing a container near a street or a drain should keep these things in mind.
We are a private company and are not part of Metro government. We place containers away from storm drains and utility covers when we can, and we remind customers to keep loose debris from washing into the street. For service issues, drainage rules and emergency contacts, we encourage you to use the department as your official source.
