WSSC Public Hearing on Proposed Fiscal 2014 – 2019 Capital Improvements Program

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) will conduct the first of two public hearings on its proposed Fiscal Years 2014 – 2019 Capital Improvements Program on Wednesday in Rockville.

FY '14 capital expenditures are estimated at $642.3 million, which represents an increase of approximately $78.2 million from the approved funding level for FY’ 13.  The primary reason for the increase is due to the significant increase in the Trunk Sewer Reconstruction project in order to meet the requirements of the Consent Decree. The increase was partially offset by the projected decreases in the Enhanced Nutrient Removal projects and the Blue Plains WWTP Digester projects as they move through construction.

People who want to speak at the hearings should call the WSSC Budget Group at (301) 206-8110 to be placed on the list of speakers in advance of the hearings.

Persons unable to attend the hearings who have comments for consideration should submit them in writing by noon on September 24, 2012, to the WSSC Budget Group at 14501 Sweitzer Lane, Laurel, Maryland 20707, or email comments to budgetgroup@wsscwater.com.
