Mountain Springs Supplying Frederick with Water
Frederick relies on Mountain Springs and Linganore Creek to meet city water needs. In 1957 the city consumed over 1.02 billion gallons, with 661.8 million from main sources and 363.2 million pumped from Linganore via an 18 inch line. A modern filtration plant treats water at Linganore before distribution. The system includes a one million gallon elevated tank. A 25 year plan proposes metered rates and a new tank and dam spillway repairs. William J. Davis leads the Water Department, which funds operations through the system. The Fishing Creek reservoir holds 77 million gallons and serves as a scenic gravity-fed source.
