Myersville Faces Major Water Sewer Plant Costs
Myersville faces about 3 million in unfunded mandates from federal and state levels to build new water and sewer plants to meet safety standards. Town records show an expected 13 million project cost with bonding possible, while a 100 thousand grant supports sewer work. Officials warn debt may outpace plant life, prompting a shift to Maryland Environmental Services to cut costs.
