PROP. CHANGES TO THE WATER & SEWER RULES & REGS
PROP. CHANGES TO THE WATER & SEWER RULES & REGS
The Frederick County Division of Water and Sewer Utilities, on behalf of the County Executive, will conduct a virtual public hearing on Thursday, September 1, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. The purpose of the hearing is to present changes to the Water and Sewer Rules and Regulations (R&R) that propose cross-connection control regulations in accordance with the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR). COMAR 26.04.01.32 requires the supplier of water to prepare and submit for approval a plan for cross-connection control to the Maryland Department of the Environment for approval. These regulations are designed to greatly reduce the risk of contamination of the public drinking water supply. In addition, the changes to the R&R include updating Appendix B – Capacity Adjustment Factors for Commercial, Industrial and Institutional Customers, and other miscellaneous “housekeeping” revisions within the document.
The draft regulations will be discussed at the meeting for its customers, various stakeholders, and other interested parties. DWSU will provide a brief presentation prior to receiving comments at the public meeting, but no action will be taken at the meeting.
