‘Lane Kiffin Sewage Center’ Vol Fan Files to Rename Water Treatment Facility
Some Tennessee fans aren’t happy about the way Lane Kiffin left the University. But one Vol fan wants to pay tribute to the former head coach by naming a Knoxville facility in his honor.
The University of Tennessee has a history of naming buildings and streets after former greats. Neyland Stadium, Peyton Manning Pass, and Phillip Fulmer Way are examples.
Knoxville attorney Drew McElroy has filed paperwork with the Knoxville City Council’s Public Properties and Facilities Naming Committee to rename a waste water treatment plant on Neyland Drive the “Lane Kiffin Sewage Center.”
McElroy said after driving down Neyland Drive and seeing all the history, it hit him. Renaming the Kuwahee Wastewater Treatment Plant would be the best way to let Kiffin know he understands why the coach left.
He told Knoxville’s NBC affiliate WBIR, “We don’t have to rename the entire facility after him, just a part of it,” he said.
McElroy conceded just a cesspool at the facility would be enough to satisfy him.
On the application, MCElroy states the requested name change is “to honor our recently departed head coach and raise awareness of the good work done by the Knoxville Utilities Board.”
“I think it’d be very fitting. He’s definitely garbage,” UT Student Paul Mills said.

Tell you guys somethin’ funny…….True story, though…. see, I was responsible for a bunch of the civil engineering design on that particular water treatment plant facility- back in (I think) 1979-80.
If you wanna name a particular element of the facility for him, let me offer a couple of symbolic suggestions:
a) the “Lane Kiffin Grit Chamber”- it’s the part of the plant where all of the used “Trojans” can be found floating around on the surface. Gotta remember, all of the toilets from the UT dorms flow downhill and eventually end up there…..lmao
b) perhaps more appropriately, consideration should be given to the sub-surface outfall (discharge) line from the facility… see, hidden along the bottom of the Tennessee River, a very large underground “exit pipe” leaves the KWWTP. All of the “treated” waste liquids from that facility are “silently” dumped in the Tennessee River (underwater, hidden from the eyes of the boating public) via that pipe…. they could call it the “Lane Kiffin Tunnel of Knowledge” or something along those lines……
….lol
Just a couple of suggestions…… so, do ya FEEL me ???
