GLENWOOD SEWER EXTENSION PROJECT

Harford CountyDivision of Water & Sewer

The Glenwood Sewer Extension project is a Harford County Division of Water & Sewer capital project. The project is a private septic system to public sewer conversion which will provide the properties being served with access to public sewer. It includes the construction of approximately 1,200 linear feet of 8-inch public gravity sewer to serve fifteen (15) properties along the 1500 block of Donegal Road and the 100/200 blocks of Duncannon Road in the Glenwood subdivision in Bel Air, Maryland.

The project originated as a sewer petition where the property owners petitioned Harford County for access to public sewer. The petition project was approved by Harford County Council under Resolution No. 027-23 on May 2, 2023, which includes an annual assessment to be paid by the property owners to Harford County to pay for the project. Following the completion of the sewer construction, each property owner will be responsible for hiring a plumber to abandon their septic system and make the connection to the public sewer cleanout. Maryland Department of the Environment, Bay Restoration Grant Funding is available to assist the property owners with costs related to abandonment of the private septic systems and connecting to public sewer.
