      Since 1964, Ocoee Utility District has supplied customers in Bradley County and Polk County,
      Tennessee with the highest quality water services. They are proud to serve in Southeast Tennessee
      and strive to improve service and expand coverage to serve more people. Under the leadership of         Permit No. 592  Pontiac, IL    PAID  US Postage  PRSRT STD
      Tim Lawson (General Manager), Ben Witt (Assistant General Manager), Don Faulkner (Construction
      Superintendent), and Tommy McDonald (Operations Manager), twenty-eight employees and three
      crews conduct the daily functions of the utility district. Prior to 2018, Ocoee Utility District contracted
      out new construction projects. As a result of their growth, Faulkner was hired as the Construction
      Superintendent and a third crew was added to provide pipework at new construction sites, as well as
      new equipment to help get the job done.

      Their Cat fleet consists of two 305E2 excavators and two 259D3 compact track loaders. Faulkner
      mentioned warranty, price, service, and reliability as factors that contribute to their decision to
      purchase Cat equipment. Ben Witt, Assistant General Manager elaborated on this by saying, “The
      reliability of Cat equipment is unmatched. It is very seldom that we have a machine down.” One of
      their most recent significant projects includes the construction of 2.5 miles of new six-inch pipe in a
      neighborhood in Charleston, TN. Ocoee Utility District looks forward to continuing to grow and provide
      water and sewer services to the communities in Southeast Tennessee.
