GREAT MILLS, Md. –ย The Maryland Board of Public Works approved more than $316 million in grants and loans to reduce pollution, improve water quality and save energy and money. The board is composed of Governor Larry Hogan, Treasurer Nancy K. Kopp and Comptroller Peter Franchot.

A $5,292,504 Water Quality State Revolving Loan Fund loan to the St. Maryโ€™s County Metropolitan Commission will fund the Great Mills Wastewater Pumping Station Replacement project. The project involves the replacement of the Great Mills Wastewater Pumping Station, which lacks the capacity to handle the projected growth within its service area. Because the site of the existing station is too small for an upgraded facility, a new station will be built near the intersection of Maryland Routes 5 and 471.
