Pipeline Project Will Deliver 3 Million Additional Gallons Daily to Maury County

Maury County Water System is moving forward on a major infrastructure project that will bring an additional three million gallons of treated water per day to customers through a new six-mile pipeline.

After searching for expanded water supply options since 2016, MCWS finalized an agreement in 2023 to purchase water from the Hillsboro, Burwood & Thompson’s Station Utility District. The roughly $14 million project is being partially funded by a $7.76 million American Rescue Plan grant through TDEC, covering more than half the total cost.

The new pipeline will connect near the intersection of SR-431 and I-65 and run south along Highway 431 through Williamson County. Construction began in November and is expected to be complete and fully operational by September 2026.

Crews have already tackled complex work including boring under the interstate, crossing creeks, navigating private properties, and breaking through rock. The project is one of the larger undertakings in MCWS history and is part of a broader effort to keep up with rapid growth in Maury County, including new pump stations, larger water lines, and plans for a new 2 MGD water storage tank.

Maury Regional Opens Retail Pharmacy

On March 27, Maury Regional Health celebrated the grand opening of its new retail pharmacy location now open and serving patients at the Maury Regional Medical Plaza in Columbia.

Designed with patients’ health and convenience in mind, the new location offers streamlined pharmacy services for the community, patients and employees of Maury Regional Health. The opening of the Medical Plaza pharmacy location marks another milestone in the health system’s ongoing commitment to providing expert care that is both accessible and seamless for patients.

“The opening of this new full-service outpatient pharmacy in our Medical Plaza further strengthens the continuity of care we provide,” said Maury Regional Health CEO Martin Chaney, MD. “By offering these services in the same building where many patients already receive care, we are making it easier for them to fill prescriptions following their appointments. This helps to support timely medication use, improve adherence to treatment plans and ultimately contribute to a smoother recovery process. As always, our objective is to remove barriers and to deliver truly seamless, patient-centered care.”

Located at 854 W. James Campbell Blvd., Suite 102, the Maury Regional Health Pharmacy offers full prescription services along with a wide variety of over-the-counter medications and home-delivery options. The location is designed to simplify the process of managing ongoing medication needs while providing patients with direct access to trusted pharmacy professionals. The pharmacy is open Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and may be reached at 931.919.1193.

The Maury Regional Health Pharmacy is staffed by clinical pharmacists available for one-on-one medication counseling, comprehensive medication reviews and expert guidance on drug interactions or side effects. 

The Columbia Medical Plaza marks the first in a series of new pharmacy locations intended to bring expert care closer to home for residents across the region. Following this Columbia opening, Maury Regional Health will soon debut an additional pharmacy location at the new Lawrence Health Center in Lawrenceburg, with plans to open other pharmacy locations later this year. These secondary locations complement the existing on-campus pharmacy currently located on the first floor of Maury Regional Medical Center, which continues to serve discharging patients, employees and volunteers.

These new pharmacy locations are being launched in partnership with VytlOne, a leading provider of comprehensive pharmacy solutions for health care organizations nationwide.

“Providing world-class medicine means ensuring it is within reach for everyone in our community,” said Maury Regional Medical Group President Nathan Miller. “We know that when pharmacy services are conveniently located and easy to navigate, patients are better able to stay on track with their health goals. This expansion is a major advancement in how we serve Columbia, providing a one-stop resource where patients have the option to find everything from their prescription medicines to specialized counseling to over-the-counter essentials. We are proud to bring this level of convenience to our patients.”
