Renovation of a water / sewer project in District 23, Ballenger, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

The Discovery Sewage Pump Station (SPS) is an aging wastewater facility that has reached the end of its effective service life. Due to increasing maintenance needs, equipment obsolescence, and capacity limitations, a comprehensive evaluation of the station is required to determine the most reliable and cost-effective long-term solution. This project will begin with a conceptual study evaluating multiple alternatives, including: Relocation of the pump station to a more suitable site. Rerouting or modification of the existing force main. Expansion of the existing facility to accommodate current and future flows. Upgrading the existing station in place with modern mechanical, electrical, and control systems. Based on the findings of the conceptual study and the recommended alternative, the project will advance to full engineering design, permitting, and construction. The selected improvements will ensure the station meets current regulatory requirements, improves operational reliability, and supports long term system capacity needs. The project is included in the City's 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of September 08, 2026 , further details have not yet been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
