This is Town Council Resolution 10-2026 in which Centreville formally supports expanding the town-owned Wastewater Treatment Plant capacity from its current permitted 542,000 gallons per day to 1,000,000 gallons per day, citing present insufficiency for current and future demands and alignment with local and regional planning. The resolution authorizes the Town Manager, Director of Public Works, and staff to coordinate with Queen Anne’s County, the Maryland Department of the Environment, funding agencies, engineers, and consultants to advance evaluation, permitting, design, financing, and construction, and directs the town to pursue state and federal grants and low-interest loans to minimize impacts on ratepayers; it also notes any expansion remains subject to all applicable regulatory reviews and approvals and takes effect immediately upon adoption.
