The County Commissioners of Kent County, Maryland applauded the inclusion of $6.2 million in Congressionally Directed Spending toward construction of a new wastewater treatment plant in Millington.
The current wastewater treatment plant was constructed over 60 years ago. Although major upgrades were completed in 2002 and extensive repairs were made again in 2010 following a significant flood event, these repairs have now reached the end of their useful life. Original mechanical and electrical components of the plant have exceeded their anticipated service life by threefold.
