Section 18: Worcester County Subject: Water Pressure Msg# 1206435

Despite the "horse has left the barn" concession, I believe we are owed a well reasoned explanation about this water shortage. And this before a normally hotter summer than the weather we have experienced this Spring. And a wetter than normal six months at that. What are the prospects? What is the progress on the poorly designed system in Riddle? The board has to get on this now.
Election season is coming. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I was getting answers from John Taulston John Tustin. Now retired. John Ross - now retired. Two years ago John Ross informed me that on a beautiful July fourth weekend, the busiest of any period in OP, the sewage treatment plant was running at HALF CAPACITY. All of us in OPA have financed a plant double the size needed - after the County promised all the expansions were only required to serve the Ocean Pines subdivision. I have not been happy with how the Board has handled the waste situation. This water situation is even more critical. I hope the Board takes action. What action? All the board can do is "beg" Worcester County. From 2005: 200 Pound Gorilla If, by action, you mean making some sort of a statement, that could be useful. However, the horse has long left the barn in terms of OPA having any influence on the service area operation. All the major decisions are made - years ago. OPA is essentially a backup for Riddle Farms and a source for major increased development in the 589 corridor or beyond when it comes. I was fighting this battle in 1995. The Board then supported the County. I lost. |
