Whiteville, TN contracts/MOUs/IGSAs re: Whiteville Correctional Facility

The Town of Whiteville was not involved in the construction of the Whiteville Correctional Facility.   At the time of construction, it was locatedoutside of the Town's corporate limit.  The property has since been annexed.  The only agreement we have with them is to supply water and wastewater services. No special agreement was made to my knowledge.  At that time application for services was not required.  The same is true of the HardemanCounty Correctional Facility.This information should be found with Hardeman County.Please let me know if any other information is needed.Thank you,Patricia RandolphTown RecorderTown of Whiteville, Tennessee 

Re: water and sewage agreements of CCA Whiteville and Hardeman County.As stated in the September 14 email, at the time of construction of the CCA facilities there were no formal written water and sewer applications.  We are a very small communityand all was done by word of mouth.  I am certain there was a receipt for the meter deposit at that time, but unfortunately there was a fire in 1994 and all files were lost.  We would be glad to help you with your request but we have no records for you.Thank you,Patricia RandolphRecorderTown of Whiteville, Tennessee
