Vo Tech water pact seals county city agreement at FCC site
County commissioners and Frederick city leaders reached a water service agreement for the vocational training school on Frederick Community College campus. The deal tears up an old contract and ties a new $400,000 loop to improved flow and pressure, with the city waiving a $63,000 hookup charge in return for relinquishing a claim to up to $55,000 of FCC line costs. The plan also guarantees water to a proposed Opossumtown Pike site and ensures fire capacity with the new loop.
