Water Resources Element

The purpose of the County‘s Water Resources Element (WRE) is to coordinate growth management and water resources planning efforts in Frederick County. The Water Resources Element primarily addresses the County owned and operated water and wastewater systems, although data is included for municipal systems and municipal growth areas. The WRE discusses the watershed resources of the County; the quality and quantity of drinking water supplies with respect to planned growth; the treatment capacity of wastewater treatment facilities and disposal of treated effluent; and a review of the County‘s stormwater management and non-point source pollution programs.
