County Supervisors Clash Over Sanitation Authority Ordinance
The Frederick County Supervisors sparred over a proposed ordinance to require county review of water and sewer expansions, fearing costly contracts with the Sanitation Authority and delays for facilities not yet built. They noted the move would curb Winchester’s lines and affect annexation-driven tax bases, urging delay and broader county-town cooperation. Blair Webber was introduced as new inspector and an emergency Electrical Code, tied to State actions, was set for 60 days. The Building Code ordinance passed unanimously adopting the 1967 National Building Code.
