Braddock residents split on new water system plan
Several Braddock Heights residents told Frederick County officials they do not want to join the $5.8 million county water project. They questioned costs including a $6,300 benefits assessment and a $2,200 connection fee, with a 120 day hookup window. The Grace Brethren Church supported the system for fire protection and irrigation, while others cited wells and existing infrastructure. A workshop on the plan was scheduled for Thursday at 9 am after two hours of public input.
