IV-39 Executive Summary The 2008 Master Water and Sewerage Plan provide a substantial update of the current 2002 Plan. The Plan includes updated information on the water and sewerage systems in Frederick County and proposes a revised map with classification revisions based on revisions to the classification definitions and reflecting changes in the status of water/sewer service to some properties. The Plan is required by the Maryland Department of the Environment to be reviewed every three years, and updated if necessary. The purpose of the Master Water and Sewerage Plan is to provide an overview of the planning policies, needs, and planned infrastructure related to community and individual water and sewerage systems. The Water and Sewerage Plan is organized into four chapters, appendices, and maps defining the various service classifications. Chapter 1 Policies and Procedures This chapter describes the planning process and procedures for the adoption of amendments to the Plan text or maps. The chapter includes both general and special policies that have been adopted for the designation of community water and sewer service areas, and which regulate water and sewerage system extensions, connections, and their staging. • Municipalities which propose or support development requests are now asked to detail the capacities remaining in their systems, subtracting vacant lots and approved but not built-out development, in a manner consistent with the State’s Capacity Management reporting. Staff is proposing with this submission, that the Mayor or Burgess certify the capacity information.
