WSSC
Hearing - Wednesday November 15thWSSC will conduct a public informational meeting to discuss the
specifics of plans to provide public water service to existing residential
and
commercial properties in addition to new homes in the Town of Laytonsville.
Laytonsville District Volunteer Fire Department
Fire Hall
21400 Laytonsville Road
Laytonsville, Maryland 20882
7:00 p.m. Open House/Meet and Greet
7:30 - 8:15 p.m. Presentation
8:15 - 9:00 p.m. Questions & Answer
Due to water quality concerns, officials from the Town of Laytonsville
and Montgomery County requested that WSSC conduct a preliminary study to
extend water service to the Town of Laytonsville. This study, undertaken
in October 1999, determined the parameters needed to provide public water
service. In November 2001, the Town of Laytonsville filed an application
for water service with WSSC.
The need for public water service was necessitated by petroleum and nitrate
contamination found in the ground water supply. Various Montgomery County
planning agencies, including the Department of Environmental Protection,
concluded that connecting to the public water system will help address problems
caused by ground water contamination and the lack of an available septic
replacement area.
The preliminary study for proposed water service for the Town of Laytonsville
indicates that due to high ground elevations, a new public potable water
system with a pumping station and an elevated storage tank is required.
Attendees will learn the project history, purpose, timeline, alignments
options, community and environmental impacts and community outreach.
Please note, WSSC will accept comments from the community for two weeks
after the meeting. Community members may contact John Maholtz, WSSC Project
Manager at 301-206-8832 or e-mail at jmaholt@wsscwater.com
You
are invited to an open mike meeting with Montgomery County council member
Mike Knapp on October 27, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. in the town hall, 21607 Laytonsville
road, Laytonsville, maryland. You may discuss your ideas and concerns
with council member Knapp and ask questions.
