WSSC Developing Giant
Water, Sewerage System

the Potomac River, near Watts
Branch, for additional water
supply to meet the present and
future needs of a Suburban Dis
trict population which is expect
ed to more than double In the
next 40 years. The new Poto-
mac Filtration Plant, which is
expected to go into operation
this fall with a capacity of 80
million gallons a day, will be
expanded in 30-million-gallon
phases as need to an ultimate
capacity of 120 million gallons
a day. The estimated cost of
this huge project, which in
cludes major supply lines
through Montgomery County, is
set at 500 million.
At first, the Potomac supply
will mainly serve Montgomery
County, and Prince Georges
County will receive water from
the existing Patuxent Plant.
However, WSSC engineers point
out that Potomac River water
eventually will have to be trans
ported through huge pipelines
into Prince Georges County to
serve part of the water supply
needs of that growing area.
New Projects Planned
Other major water and sewer
projects = big trunk sewers,
large water lines, pumping sta
tons, etc.-are planned by the
Commission in its Five. Year
Program, which is revised and
updated each fall. This type of
planning helps the WSSC meet
the needs of the present and

Georges and Montgomery
Counties has been what to do
with storm water run-off as
the community's wide open
spaces" are developed with
homes, roads and other subur-
ban facilities.
The WSSC does not have sole
responsibility for storm drain
age in the Suburban District.
Other agencies, such as the
County Governments, munich
palities and the State Roads
Commission, also initiate or
participate In storm drainage
projects.
Bond Issues Authorized
However, in this field the
Maryland General Assembly
has given the WSSC the re-
sponsibility of reviewing and
approving all storm drainage
plans within the Suburban Dis
trict and the authority to, from
time to time, issue storm drain
age bonds for a limited pro-
gram of construction either by
the WSSC or in cooperation
with other local agencies and
developers.
Since storm drainage funds
are limited and the trouble
spots are numerous, the Com
mission cooperates with the
County and municipal govern
ments in determining what pro-
jects shall receive priority.

Nests Lousy?
Here's Old-Time
De-Lousing Plan

Mrs. Emma Magruder Wat
ers, a county housewife of the
last century, made this note in
her cookbook:
ITO Prevent Lousy Nests"
make pads from old cheap
magazines and place them in
the bottom Of the nests, thor
oughly saturating these pads
with kerosene. Upon these pads
place a half-gallon of good
ashes, then renew the nest. At
Matching time renew the pads to
protect the young from vermin

Mrs. Waters may have had
the cleanest chickens in the
County, but she obviously didn't
worry about fire hazards in her
outbuildings. The formula is
from a cookbook owned by the
Muncaster family.

future realistically and econom-
ically.
At the end of 1859, the WSSC
was maintaining 1850 miles Of
water mains and almost 14OO
miles of sewers, more than
enough to stretch from one
coast of the United States to the
other. These lines serve about
10000 individual water connec-
tons and 114,000 sewer connec-
tons in the Suburban District.
The WSSC, by agreement, also
provides water to a small part
of Howard County in the Patux-
ent River watershed and has
been asked to serve a portion
of Anne Arundel County with
water and sewer.
Although the tremendous
growth of suburban Maryland
has presented a difficult task
to the WSSC, the Commission
has succeeded over the years in
providing dependable and mod
ern water and sewer service to
the Suburban District when
it is needed and where it is
needed. The orderly growth of
the suburban community is
testimony to the success of the
WSSC program.
Major achievements have in
cluded ID elimination of sew
age pollution from Suburban
District streams; (2) develop
ment of water supply to meet
present and future needs; and
90 construction of trunk line
sewerage system to serve the
entire suburban Maryland area.
