Loading...
Summary
Town staff said a preconstruction meeting for Hampstead’s water treatment plants is scheduled tomorrow with contractors, engineers and inspectors; pipeline work is underway with pipeline completion targeted by late May and treatment plants expected in late winter 2028.
Hampstead’s zoning administrator told the Planning & Zoning Commission Wednesday that the town is moving into the construction phase of its water system modernization and centralization project.
A preconstruction meeting is scheduled for the next day and will include the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), the contractor (named in the record as Conewago), engineering firms HDR and GMB, inspection firm RK and K, Green Ridge Environmental (MDE inspector on the project), Carroll County inspectors and town staff. If submittals and approvals proceed as planned, staff said it will issue a notice to proceed the following Monday and construction work could begin in April.
Work on the water distribution mains is already under way; staff reported tasks 1–3 are complete and tasks 4 and 5 (including segments on Shiloh Road, Wellesley Court and a section of Lower Beckleyville Road toward the treatment plant site) were scheduled to start once weather improved. Staff estimated the pipeline portion of the project would be completed by late May. The water treatment plant schedule was described as just under two years, with an expected completion in late winter 2028.
The administrator noted contractors must submit and receive approval for all equipment and materials and that some products must meet “built in America” requirements before local construction activities proceed.
