Metro Water Water and Stormwater Services

The local department that handles water, sewer and stormwater programs for Nashville and Davidson County.

Metro Water Services is the Nashville and Davidson County department that describes its role in providing water, sewer and stormwater services. Its stormwater programs deal with drainage, runoff and water quality. Owners in Nashville may need to learn about local rules when gutters and downspouts change how water leaves a property or when drainage is tied into a storm system.

We are a private company and are not part of Metro government. Local requirements can change, and staff decide what applies to a given address, so we encourage owners to confirm details with the department. We plan gutter and downspout discharge to avoid sending water onto neighbors and to protect foundations. The official site is a good place to find contacts and program information, and we are glad to help you prepare questions.
