STEPHENS CITY â Pipeline construction associated with the new Henry F. Sliwinski Water Treatment Plant in Frederick County is expected to begin in January.
Frederick Water Executive Director Eric Lawrence made the announcement at Tuesday nightâs Frederick Water board meeting. The plant is part of the Opequon Water Supply Plan (OWSP), which aims to meet Frederick Waterâs projected water needs by drawing water from Opequon Creek. By 2035, Frederick Waterâs customers may require up to 12 million gallons of drinking water per day â about twice the current average usage of 6 million gallons per day.
The Henry F. Sliwinski Water Treatment Plant, which will replace the existing James T. Anderson Water Treatment Plant, will be located at the end of Hot Run Drive, immediately north of the new Stonewall Park ball fields in Stephenson.
