Jefferson Sanitary District OK'd by County Commissioners
The Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved creating the Jefferson Sanitary District on the recommendation of the Frederick County Metropolitan District and Sanitary Commission. Fiftynine of 110 property owners supported the district, making it the third such district in the county. A. Irvin Renn said the approval enables engineering for a sewer and water system while the commissioners keep budgeting control. The State Health Department found 32 of 77 wells contaminated, underscoring the need for sanitary facilities. Opponents cited lack of clear majority support, economic strain, no countywide master plan, and uncertain sewage need. The law caps district system costs at 25 percent of assessable base. funding is paid by district residents but secured on county credit.
