OF PUBLIC HEARING LEWIS ROAD SEWER EXTENSION CONSTRUCTION OF SANITARY FACILITIES TO SERVE LEWIS ROAD COMMUNITY FOR THE LANDINGS SANITARY SERVICE AREA WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND

In accordance with the provisions of Section PW 5-307 of the Public Works Article of the Code of Public Local Laws of Worcester County, Maryland, the Worcester County Commissioners will hold a public hearing to serve the Lewis Road Community within the Landings Sanitary Service Area in which public sewer service will be provided by the Landings Sanitary Service Area through sanitary facilities to be constructed by Worcester County. The public hearing on these matters will be held on:

TUESDAY, September 7, 2021 at 10:45 A.M. in the COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING ROOM ROOM 1101 – COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER ONE WEST MARKET STREET SNOW HILL, MARYLAND 21863

Construction of Sanitary Facilities to Serve the Lewis Road Community – In accordance with the provisions of Section PW 5-307, the County Commissioners propose to construct the sewer facilities for the project portion of Lewis Road, that will connect the Lewis Road Community to a previously installed pipeline that connects with the Landings Sanitary Service Area. Based upon a budget for proposed construction and engineering costs presented by an engineer hired by Worcester County to prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report to provide a public sewer extension to the Lewis Road Community in the proposed service area and reviewed by County staff, the County Commissioners have established a budget of $2,025,000 (Two Million, TwentyFive Thousand and 00/100 dollars) for this project. $507,000, (Five Hundred and Seven Thousand and 00/100 dollars) would be funded out of Worcester County ARPA funds, and the remainder of the funds would come from a proposed grant amount of $1,518,000, (One Million, Five Hundred and Eighteen Thousand and 00/100 dollars).

To Lewis Road customers this would mean the following for their quarterly bills: a $226.50 base rate to cover operating and maintenance costs for the service area, as well as $15 charge for the Bay Restoration Fund. Unbuilt and unconnected lots would have an accessibility charge of $180 per quarter. In addition to the base rate Lewis Road costumers would have the following consumption rate charges: $1.60 per thousand gallons between 0 gallons to 10,000 gallons $3.50 per thousand gallons between 10,001 gallons to 25,000 gallons $6.00 per thousand gallons between 25,001 gallons to 35,000 gallons $9.00 per thousand gallons between 35,001 gallons to 45,000 gallons $15.00 per thousand gallons over 45,000 gallons

The case file for this proposed project may be reviewed at the Department of Environmental Programs, Room 1306, (3rd Floor) - Government Center, One West Market Street, Snow Hill, Maryland. These documents may be reviewed at the Department during the regular business hours of 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday (except Holidays).
