Elkton Sewer Plan Faces Growth With Upgrades Ahead
The town outlines a four phase DEQ upgrade plan to lift plant capacity from current levels toward 800 000 gallons per day with emergency capacity near 2 million. New master planned units add 1 904 potential homes plus Koogler project 72 units, risking demand that may require 380 800 to 400 000 gallons per day beyond current capacity. Infiltration reduction and in plant equipment upgrades define near term capacity gains while growth remains uncertain.
