The term "wastewater facility" also includes appurtenances to such system or facility, such as outfall sewers and pumping stations, and to equipment related to such appurtenances.

T.C.A. 68-221-1003(9)(A). (Emphasis added). As both of the above state code definitions use the word “appurtenances,” we must look to the definition of that term. It is not defined in the statutes, so the common definition applies. appurtenance: 1: an incidental property right or privilege (as to a right of way, a barn, or an orchard) belonging to a principal right and passing in possession with it 2: a subordinate part, adjunct, or accessory 3 appurtenances pl: accessory objects used in any function Applying the common definition of “appurtenances,” which is appropriate as no other definition is provided in the Code, the term clearly includes all accessories, property rights and privileges necessary to carry out wastewater treatment. Interestingly, the definition above mentions “right of way” and uses the words “belonging to a principal right and passing in possession with it.” It is necessarily implied that when a right is transferred, all privileges pass along with that right. So, if sewer lines are transferred, the entity receiving those lines inherits the city’s right to use the right of way. Without a specified exclusion appearing in the Agreement, “appurtenances” therefore includes all sewer lines, both main and lateral. The definition contained in the Wastewater Facilities Act states that all “appurtenances” necessary for the facility to collect wastewater are included in the definition of “wastewater facility.” Wastewater cannot be collected without lines, both main and lateral lines, so this definition necessarily includes all such lines. Based on the language quoted above from the Wastewater Treatment Authority Act and the Wastewater Facilities Act, it is clear that both of these statutes include sewer lines as part of the “treatment works” and “wastewater facilities” defined and governed by these laws. There is no language contained in these statutes which removes lateral sewer lines from the definitions employed. Another statute which is applicable to the Agreement is contained in the general Water and Sewerage Act, found at Tennessee Code Annotated 00-000-000, et s...
