McBee Sewer ballot measure aims to modernize city drainage
A bond issue on the August 13 Primary Election ballot labeled The McBee Sewer is not for The McBee Company. It sits on Baltimore and Ohio Railroad land and drains West Washington Cemetery Central Avenue and other West End streets. It floods Union Street during heavy rain and carries some sanitary sewage, causing odor in dry weather. The improvement will replace the obsolete open ditch sewer with a modern system.
