Summary of the Town Water System The Town of Mount Airy currently has adequate groundwater supply for average demands on the established public water system. The water study has verified that the eight wells from which the Town is drawing water can supply enough water for the current average demand and average peak demand. However, the overall system may very well be stressed during drought conditions. 90
Recent studies done by the Town’s water consultants, Arro Consulting, recommended the annexation of the Flickinger property into the Town limits in order to bring an additional good yielding well on line (future well # 10). This well development should also be coordinated with the addition of a ninth well which is located on the town-owned property north of Westridge Subdivision. The ninth well will be developed within the next 1-to 2-year period of time and will be located on the Town-owned property north of Westridge Subdivision. It is obvious from the data that the two new Town wells to come on line within the next two years and added to the water supply system can only serve the current commercial and residential pipeline. Any development on the land in the Town’s outer growth area would have to supply a significant water source. The water study has concluded that ultimate projected build out demand will range from 1,250,000 million gallons per day to 1,600,000 gallons per day. Carroll County has stated in the Master Water and Sewer Plan that success in increasing the water supply from available groundwater will depend on persistent well exploration, along with groundwater quality protection. Town Sewer System Existing Sewer System The Town of Mount Airy owns and operates the sewer system which includes nine pumping stations, interceptor and collection lines ranging from 6" to 15" and a newly expanded sewer treatment plant. The Town of Mount Airy conducted a major expansion of its Wastewater Treatment Plant from 1998 to 1999. The plant was modernized and expanded to double its capacity to accommodate the ultimate growth of the Town. The project was completed in July of 1999, and the newly expanded plant became fully operational at that time. This newly expanded plant has increased the sewage flow capacity from 600,000 GPD to ultimately 1.2 million GPD capacity. This increase of capacity relates to a more serious level of effluent testing from the State and therefore stringent compliance to a new standard for water quality. The most important aspect of the project was the Biological Nutrient Removal Process. This has greatly reduced the nutrients flowing into the Chesapeake Bay and its respective tributaries. Prior to the upgrade, the average total nitrogen content was 16mg/L in comparison to the current nitrogen content at a level of less than 7mg/L. The phosphorus levels also fell after the expansion, from 3mg/L to less than 1mg/L. The plant has also demonstrated a reduction of all other parameters that are monitored from the State. The new wastewater treatment plant in Mount Airy has received recognition from the State as a "model" facility to serve a small town growth and development plan. The Town’s Waste Water Treatment Plant is located approximately one mile east of MD 27 along an abandoned length of the B & O Railroad. The plant discharges treated 91
