Report Outlines Path Forward for Giles County Water Infrastructure

Giles County, Tenn. — County Executive Graham Stowe has submitted a new report titled “Partnering for the Future: Strategic Water Considerations,” outlining a coordinated plan to strengthen Giles County’s water infrastructure and planning efforts.

The report, developed in collaboration with the Giles County Water Alliance, provides a step-by-step pathway to improve local water systems and ensure long-term reliability. The Alliance, which has already held two highly productive meetings, brings together municipal water departments, utility districts, and county officials to share data, expertise, and resources.

Stowe credited the Alliance’s progress to increased collaboration among local leaders, noting, “Three years ago, everyone knew we had water problems but there was minimal coordination. We’ve made great strides on that front, and this plan of action is one of the results. Next, we must act.”

He also extended special thanks to Erin Curry, who serves as chair of the Giles County Water Alliance, and Daryl Williamson for sharing his subject matter expertise throughout the process.

The report emphasizes the importance of unified planning, early data collection, and coordination with state and federal partners such as TDEC, TVA, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to position Giles County for future growth and funding opportunities.
