County updates water rules after mosque site concerns
At a Tuesday work session, commissioners proposed changes to water and sewer regulations, including repealing a provision that allowed connections for religious sites on a 100 acre mosque land parcel on New Design Road. The plan also reclassifies the site as no planned service and clarifies rules for agriculture properties. The changes move to the county Planning Commission with a decision possible in January, while Monocacy Valley Church also seeks a site on Md 144 and one proposal would benefit the mosque through regulatory edits amid debate over equal treatment of religious sites.
