Touch pad water meter registers to be replaced in Ocean Pines, Mystic Harbour, and Newark Service Areas
Worcester County Public Works Water and Wastewater (WWW) Division staff will be replacing touch pad water meter registers in Ocean Pines, Mystic Harbour, and Newark water service areas now through the end of 2025 during normal business hours. Because water meter pits should always remain easily accessible, property owners in these areas are asked not to park over water meter pits, place mulch or any other covering over the lids, or erect yard decorations in areas that could block access to the meter pits.
Public Works Encourages Drivers to Exercise Caution - Salt Brine Treatments Begin Today as Temps Rise
Public Works encourages drivers to exercise caution following recent snowfall, advises will begin salt brine treatments today as temps rise above 20 degrees.
An average of 1 1/2 inches of snow fell across the county last night. Historically, the County doesn’t begin plowing operations until accumulations reach 3 inches or more. Plowing less than 3 inches of snow produces sporadic results, as the snow lacks the volume to clump up and be effectively removed from the roadway.
