Snow Hill, Maryland – Water and sewer users will see increases in their bills beginning this quarter. Rates in each of the 11 water and wastewater sanitary service areas (SSAs) increased in fiscal year 2026 to cover actual operating and maintenance costs increases.

The service areas were designed to fund themselves, but they were underfunded for years. If the rates remained flat from FY25, revenues would not cover actual expenses for FY26 in each of the service areas.

Snow Hill, Maryland – Tuesday, October 21, 2025, the Worcester County Commissioners appointed Ondrea Starzhevskiy to serve as the new finance officer. Starzhevskiy briefly served as deputy finance officer after joining the County’s finance team in August 2025. In her elevated role, Starzhevskiy will lead the Treasurer’s Office.
