Wilson County Water Map

The Tennessean, December 25, 2011

Mt. Juliet will need $11.5 million in sewer upgrades over the next ten years and must decide where to find the money to pay for it. City leaders are taking proactive steps to stay ahead of what could be a sewer fund deficit by 2016. City commissioners are currently weighting a 12 percent increase that would right the fund so that expenses no longer outpace revenue. Currently an average sewer bill in Mt. Juliet is $29.04 a month, compared with $23.87 in Gallatin, $31.77 in Lebanon and $32.86 in Murfreesboro respectively.
