WATER PLANT UPDATE

 

The Town Commissioners wanted to present an update to our citizens/residents regarding the recent issues the Town has had regarding the operation of the Water Treatment Plant. The Town has contracted with Shore Environmental Services to provide assistance and also has received technical assistance from the Maryland Rural Water Association and the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE).  After recent mechanical failures that have been repaired the Town’s Water Treatment Plant is operating satisfactory and all consumers should be seeing clearer water being provided to their homes.

The Town appreciates the concerns voiced by our citizens and should anyone have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the Town Manager at 410-835-8872.

FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING

 

The Town of PITTSVILLE will be scheduling our “fire hydrant flushing” sometime in the near future. The “fire hydrant flushing” will be delayed UNTIL the situation with our water issue is corrected and rectified.

 

A “PUBLIC NOTICE” will be posted on the Town’s web site and possibly the PITTSVILLE Fire Company’s electronic message board before the “fire hydrant flushing” commences.

 

Any concerns or questions, please call the Town Hall.

 

IMPORTANT PUBLIC NOTICE & WARNING!!!

 

The Town Commissioners and the Town’s Sanitary Sewer Department are reminding ALL town residents using the sewer system to desist and refrain from disposing of “handy wipes” into the town’s sewer system.  The “handy wipes” clog up the system and cause mechanical problems at the sewer pumping stations which require expensive maintenance.

 

We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

ATTENTION!

Due to the work being conducted on the Town of Pittsville’s Comprehensive Plan, the Town’s Planning/Zoning commission will be holding their meetings on the FIRST Tuesday of the month commencing at 6:30 pm at the Pittsville Town Hall. This will be the NEW meeting date/time.

The public is always welcomed!

SPEED CAMERAS

The Town Commissioners have approved the use of the Automated Speed Enforcement System, also known as the “speed camera” program to enhance the safety within the PITTSVILLE School Zone. The speed cameras will be set up within the school monitoring zone and will be activated by the speed of the vehicle IF 12 miles over the posted speed limit zone. Law abiding citizens will not be affected by this type of enforcement since it is only activated by vehicles passing the camera at an excessive rate of speed.

Notification of those areas to be affected will be posted on the Town’s web site and at the Town Hall for public information.

Anyone with questions concerning this new public safety program can contact the Town’s Chief of Police or Town Manager for further information or clarification.

BE SAFE! AND DO NOT SPEED!
