County funds shifted to support Braddock Water transition
Frederick County government is recouping more than 84 thousand dollars spent operating Braddock Water Co by drawing from an escrow fund after a judge ruled the county Commissioners could withdraw money. The county aims to merge Braddock with the nearby Fountaindale system, building a new tank, wells, and upgraded treatment, with about 4.5 million for 6 miles of new lines. The project targets completion by November, in service to Braddock Heights and 300 plus customers previously served by Braddock Water Co.
