In accordance with Section 113-5 of the Code of St. Mary’s County, the St. Mary’s County Metropolitan Commission (MetCom) will hold a Public Meeting to notify and inform the community regarding the proposed St. Clements Shores Water System Replacement Phase 2 Project No.: 2151WL.

The water system within the St. Clements Shores subdivision was originally constructed in the 1950s and requires replacement.

The project will include the replacement of approximately 10,400 linear feet of water line with a new water system comprised of 12-inch, 8-inch, 6-inch, and 4-inch water lines. Increased depth of pipe burial, ample isolation valves, 17 fire hydrants, appurtenances and associated restoration are also included in the design to provide a more reliable system. Project construction is anticipated to start approximately spring 2020. The estimated total cost for Phase 2 of this water system replacement is $3,687,434.
