The Sneedville Utility District was created by Dana H. Bowlin, County Judge, and the Hancock County Commission on September 29, 1951. The District was created under the provision of Chapter 248 of the Tennessee Public Act of 1937.
The original members appointed as commissioners of the newly created Sneedville Utility District were B.L. Satterfield, A.Y. Turner, and J.E. Mills. It was not until February 17, 1978 when the Sneedville Utility District received a Charter from Tennessee Secretary of State, recorded in Miscellaneous Book 13, Pages 3-8 in the Register of Deeds Office of Hancock County, Tennessee.
The utility has grown from 100 customers initially to nearly 1,000 customers today. At the beginning, the water supplied the residents of Sneedville from a spring located on Duck Creek Road southeast of Sneedville, then from a spring on Mill Dam Road due west of Sneedville off Back Valley Road, later years from the Clinch River, now our only water supply comes from the abandoned New Jersey Zinc Mines in the Treadway Community south of Sneedville.
Sneedville Utility District today uses a state of the art satellite system which controls the storage tanks and pumps. This system has reduced water loss through constant monitoring of our overall system.
Our goal is not only to serve the residents of Sneedville, but Hancock residents as well, and with future plans to provide water to Grainger and Hawkins Counties residents…all with quality water at reasonable costs.
The Sneedville Utility District was created by Dana H. Bowlin, County Judge, and the Hancock County Commission on September 29, 1951. The District was granted an official Charter from the Tennessee Secretary of State February 17, 1978.
A small tract of land in the Tenth Civil District of Hancock County was Optioned to Purchase by Sneedville Utility District Board of Commissioners, B.L.

The tract of land is fifty (50) feet square, adjoining the highway and surrounding what is know as “Fall Branch Spring”. In consideration of this Option to Purchase, the Sneedville Utility District is to build a trough as a reservoir to hold at least 400 gallons of water, with a guarantee flow of water into the trough of at least 2,500 gallons of water per day. There shall be an installation of a pump of sufficient size to provide flow of over 300 gallons of water per hour to the residence of C.W. Greene and wife Martha Greene. The Sneedville Utility District shall install a 42 inch kitchen sink and cabinet in the kitchen of C.W. Greene and wife Martha Greene residence.

Greene and wife Martha Greene is to execute a good and lawful Warranty Deed at a later date to the Sneedville Utility District before commencement of construction of the water works system.
