Decatur County Posts Updated Service Locations, Contacts, Rules for Residents

Decatur County completed an update to its Departments information on December 15, 2025 providing a single reference for residents on service hours, facility addresses, voting locations, and emergency contacts. The update lists five convenience centers with addresses and operation times, district meeting and precinct locations useful for voters, and direct contact lines for the Rescue Squad and Health Department.

The five convenience centers named are Fairgrounds Convenience Center at 275 Fairgrounds Road in Parsons, Jeanette Convenience Center at 170 Brodies Landing Road in Parsons, Wylie Gardner Convenience Center at 105 Wylie Garden Cemetery Lane in Bath Springs, Mt Lebanon Convenience Center at 1440 Mt Carmel Road in Decaturville, and Bob s Landing Convenience Center at 715 Bob s Landing Road in Bath Springs. The county reminds residents that centers are for Decatur County residential customers only, that certain commercial vehicles and trailers are not allowed, and that rules include no loitering, that children must remain in vehicles, and that violators will be prosecuted.

The update also lists district meeting and precinct locations to help voters find polling sites. Examples include Bath Springs Community Center for District 1, Cornerstone Church for District 2 in Scotts Hill, and Decatur County Civic Center for District 3 in Parsons. Early voting is located at the Election Office at 67 South East Street in Decaturville.

Emergency and public health contact information was reiterated. The Decatur County Rescue Squad is listed at 690 East Main Street, P.O. Box 474, Parsons, Tennessee 38363 with a 24 hour phone number 731 852 3911. The squad, formed in 1964, operates two fully equipped crash trucks, Broncos, work boats, and a pontoon boat. It responds with EMS on wrecks, conducts land and water searches, aids in traffic control, and is a member of the Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads. The Decatur County Health Department is listed at 155 North Pleasant Street, P.O. Box 178, Decaturville, Tennessee 38329, phone 731 852 2461, with hours Monday through Friday 8 00 a.m. to 4 30 p.m. The department traces its origins to the late 1940s when it operated from the courthouse basement.

For residents the consolidated posting matters in practical ways. Voters gain clearer guidance about where to attend district meetings and where to vote early. Households that rely on county convenience centers have explicit rules to prevent misuse and avoid enforcement, while small commercial operators will need to confirm acceptable disposal options given vehicle restrictions. Emergency responders and public health services are identified with direct contact lines that clarify where to call in urgent situations.

The updated information provides a more comprehensive public reference, but it also highlights policy questions for local officials about access to services, enforcement practices at disposal sites, and outreach to voters and small businesses to ensure rules and hours do not create unintended barriers.
