The chairman of the Washington County Water Task Force told his colleagues Thursday he hopes forthcoming federal pandemic relief dollars will help the county to accelerate its plans to provide water to residents who need it.
âWe are hoping to do a lot more projects,â County Commissioner Bryan Davenport said. âIt would be nice to double or triple our projects in the next four to eight years.
The chairman said using funds the county is slated to receive from the American Rescue Plan Act could âset a road mapâ of infrastructure projects for commissioners to follow in the future.
Davenport said such an effort could shorten the time that it takes for the county to get to all of the waterline projects on its list by a decade. He also told task force members having such a plan could help âcontrol the expectationsâ of residents wanting water service.

In February, a hacker broke into a remote access program at a Florida cityâs water treatment plant and briefly raised the amount of lye from 100 parts per million to 11,100.
According to the Associated Press, a supervisor for the city of Oldsmarâs plant saw a mouse icon moving across a computer screen and tampering with the chemical. The employee managed to reverse the change, and investigators said there was no danger to the public.
Treatment plants, the AP reported, use lye to treat water acidity, but in large quantities it can cause irritation and burns. Oldsmar officials, the AP said, disabled the remote-access system and noted that there were additional safeguards to prevent the chemical from getting in the water supply.
