County Commission’s Sewer Capacity Rejections Questioned; Campground Expansion, New Project Derailed

BERLIN – In recent months, Worcester County officials have denied two major requests for sewer capacity in West Ocean City.

The requests come less than four years after the $12.8 million expansion of the area’s Mystic Harbour Wastewater Treatment Plant.

While some might say they’re stifling growth, county officials say they’re ensuring sewer capacity remains available for existing homes and businesses.

“It’s a valuable resource and we recognize it’s a valuable resource and one the county commissioners should allocate carefully so Worcester County grows in the manner envisioned for Worcester County,” said Kelly Shannahan, the county’s assistant chief administrative officer.
