Thurmont Water Plans Hit Setback With New Consultant
Thurmont Town Council delayed a $235,000 water system plan after Mayor Donald L. Lewis urged hiring a new consultant. The council, split with four members opposing the mayor, directed action for a special meeting next Monday. The original plan proposed Hunting Creek as a water source with a diversion dam, transmission main, filter plant, reservoir, and distribution lines, but trustees favored redrafting via another survey and possibly tapping Red Run Creek instead. The meeting also touched on a bicycle ordinance, town insurance, apartment water rates, and a police car purchase. A potential shared blacktop project with Guardian Hose Co. and the Lutheran Church was discussed with an estimated $900 cost.
