What makes Bellevue homes different

Local housing, geography, and utilities in Bellevue, TN (Davidson County) shape what water emergencies look like here.

The Harpeth River and the 2010 flood

Bellevue was one of the Nashville areas hit hardest by the May 2010 flood. High water marks show the Harpeth River at Bellevue reached about 33 feet, almost 9 feet above the previous record, and subdivisions such as Riverbend Plantation flooded. Some floodway homes were later bought out through Metro's buyout program.

Hillside lots and crawl spaces

Much of Bellevue is hilly, with homes on sloped lots, basements, and crawl spaces. Water running downhill toward foundations is a common cause of basement and crawl space moisture.

Water providers

Much of Bellevue gets water and sewer service from Harpeth Valley Utilities District (HVUD), which serves parts of western Davidson, Williamson, and Cheatham counties; some parts of the area are on Metro Water Services. Check your bill.

Frequently asked questions

My basement has water after heavy rain. Is it a plumbing problem?

It may be groundwater, surface runoff, or a failed sump pump rather than a pipe. If water appears when it has not rained, check for a plumbing leak.

Does my Bellevue home need flood insurance?

If you are near the Harpeth River or a creek, check FEMA flood maps and ask your agent. Homeowners policies generally exclude outside flood water.

Who do I call for a water main break?

Harpeth Valley Utilities District or Metro Water Services, depending on which one bills you.
