NOW You'll See Something In The Daily Times About Pitsville


Although The Daily Times hasn't covered this story, my guess is now you'll see it within the next couple of days.

Mr. James Curran from the United Stated Environmental Protection Agency attended a meeting on December 17, 2007 and presented to the Town Commissioners of the Town of Pittsville, Bill Gordy, (Wastewater Superintendent) with a Plaque for excellence in Operations and Maintenance of the town's Wastewater Treatment Facility and for being the "most improved facility" in Maryland.

Pittsville prides itself by checking and testing the water quality TWICE A DAY. The State only requires these Treatment Plants to do so ONCE A MONTH! That being said, this is an accomplishment to be proud of and should set the bar for all other municipalities throughout the State.

With all the concerns over the Salisbury WWTP and now Hebron's, one can only hope the State keeps better tabs and changes the quality control measures by mandating such practices in the future.

Congratulations Pittsville!
