Renovation of a water / sewer project in La Plata, Maryland. Design plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

The Mattawoman WWTP service area has high Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) during storm events entering the sanitary sewer causing sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) where system capacity is not sufficient. SSOs range from backups into basements to overflows from the sewer manholes. In addition to being a public health risk, it is also a regulatory issue. This project will provide information on the condition of the Mattawoman sewer system, identify areas where I/I already exists or a high I/I potential exists, and design/construct repairs for I/I removal. This project will also investigate feasibility of providing in-line storage for flow equalization; identify locations for design and construction projects to implement the in-line flow equalization and acquisition of right of way needed to implement the projects. The repairs proposed will address the sewer basins with the highest I/I severity (Tier 1) resulting in the greatest amount of I/I removal for the lowest cost. This project will be on-going multi-year endeavor. As of August 18, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2023-2027 CIP . Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction Fy 2024. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2024. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
