Our History

Eastside Utility District formerly known as the East Brainerd Water Company was chartered in 1958 under the Tennessee Utility District Act of 1937.

The District originally served customers in unincorporated areas of Chattanooga and Hamilton County. Over the years the district has undergone several voluntary adjustments to its defined service area, accommodating for annexation by the City of Chattanooga. These annexations resulted in Eastside’s service area expanding outwardly away from the City’s growth, pushing the District boundaries further into Hamilton County. On January 13, 2000, an Order was signed to provide for the re-creation of Eastside Utility to become a multi-county Utility District therefore authorizing it to serve a portion of Bradley County. With a service area now covering approximately 70 square miles, Eastside Utility provides access to a reliable source of supply from the Chickamauga Lake reservoir along with interconnections of adjacent water utilities in several counties. Eastside Utility remains poised to meet any increased future demand requirements generated by economic growth within the existing service area or expansion of the service area, for many years to come.
