Snow Hill, Maryland (March 11, 2024) – Construction activities to upgrade the Riddle Farm Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) are underway. Early activities include dewatering. This process involves pumping groundwater away from the site and into the drainage ditch that runs parallel to Grays Corner Road in the vicinity of the WWTP.
“Residents may notice higher than normal levels in the ditch temporarily, as crews extract water from the ground,” Public Works Director Dallas Baker said. “Because the groundwater table is shallow in most areas of Worcester County, crews have installed several small wells around the perimeter of the worksite to siphon groundwater away from the actual construction site.”
Construction activities are anticipated to run now through December 2025.
