Water tests andThen state lead readings at White Rock questioned
William Brosius of Lake Springs Water Co. defends water quality despite 24 of 42 lead samples from White Rock showing violations. He says Health Department tests are not conclusive and suggests samples may have become contaminated after collection. All tests since Aug 1984 reportedly meet EPA standards, with Lancaster Laboratories certified. Residents oppose rate hikes amid six months of alleged potable water shortfalls and high usage from daily flushing.

City fights flood aid audits over 1976 disaster costs
Frederick's Personnel Director Doug Magaha pursues $26,053 dispute with FEMA over flood repair funding after October 1976 rains declared the city a disaster area. Auditors planned a four day review in July, then were postponed. Magaha has a thick file of receipts and insists 90 percent of a 395,426 Army estimate should be paid under a flexible funding policy, while FEMA cites need for supplemental estimates and stricter regulations. The city seeks to justify payments and resolve who owes what under federal flood insurance rules.
