wastewater into the South Branch of the Patapsco River. The average flow into the WTP during 1996 and 1997 was 553,500 gallons per day. During 1998, the flow was 515,000 gpd, 1999 totaled 523,000 gpd, and 2000 was 558,000 gpd. The treatment process consists of the following: a bar screen, grit removal, NNR aeration system, clarifiers, ultraviolet lights and post aeration tank, solids process, sludge holding tank, belt filter press with lime stabilization. Projected Sewage Flows Typically, the sewer flow is calculated at 90% of water usage barring significant infiltration during very wet seasons. During a six-month study in the mid 1990s, this approximation held true as the sewer use was about 93% of the water use. During the first half of 2001, the sewer flow was 94% of the water usage. Some infiltration may occur into the older sewer lines or an excessively wet year can cause a higher than normal sewer flow into the system. Future development, however, can be safely projected to produce a sewer flow of 90% of the water usage. Projected Sewer Flow Water Use: Sewer Flow: A. Existing Use: 620,000 558,000 gpd B. Approved Development 284,750 x 90% 256,275 gpd C. Vacant Land 467,750 x 90% 420,975 gpd CURRENT DEMAND (A+B) 904,750 814,275 gpd ULTIMATE DEMAND (A+B+C) 1,372,500 1,235,250 gpd Build-out of approved development could occur by the year 2007, if residential development proceeds at an allowed rate of 40 building permits per development per year. The Town has processed a record number of residential building permits in the last four years with indications that this strong demand for more housing units will not abate for the next several years. Recently, to accommodate an ordinance was passed limiting each development to 24 building permits per year due to infrastructure deficiencies. If the various components of infrastructure are brought up to an acceptable level, the Town will return to allowing 40 units per subdivision per year. The above figures indicate that the expansion of the sewage treatment facility has occurred with proper timing to be able to feed current and future development appropriately. The plant is currently operating with a permit to ultimately process 1.2 million gallons per day. 92
Water and Sewer Service Areas The Water and Sewer Service Area map outlines planned expansion of the water and sewer systems. The Existing Service Area indicates areas of Town that are currently being serviced by the systems. The W-1/S-1, or 0-6 Year Service Area indicates areas of Town that would be permitted to connect to the system if they chose to develop. The W-1/S-1 service area includes all undeveloped property within current Town limits. The W-3/S-3 or 7-10 Year Service Area indicates land that is expected to utilize the Town's water and sewer service system in the future, but is not allowed to hook up at this time. The W-3/S-3 service area includes property outside current Town Boundaries but within the Ultimate Town Boundaries. The W-3/S-3 designation does not indicate that property should be annexed, but if a decision to annex were made, the property would be permitted to connect to the Town water and sewer systems at a future date. The W-5/S-5 or No Planned Service Area indicates land that is not recommended to ever be part of the Town's water and sewer system. The "year" designations are descriptive only and do not guarantee a property the right to connect to the Town's water or sewer system within any time frame. Any property that is intended to be developed within the Town must be within the Existing Service Area or the 0-6 Year Service Area, or apply for a Water or Sewer Service Area Plan amendment in order to acquire the desired plan designation. 93
