		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Many years ago, a crusty, elderly Vermont senator had a solution to end the long Vietnam war: “Declare victory and leave.” But both sides in a war between the town of Rising Sun and the Cecil County government&#8211;over town plans for a major expansion of water service to rural areas, to defray some of the costs of its new $10.5 million water system&#8211; are declaring victory, after a state agency made two relatively minor concessions to the town while accepting the county’s insistence to protect rural and farm areas from development. One side in the local feud seems unwilling to “leave” the battlefield anytime soon. While the county adopted a low-key matter-of-fact tone with presentation of relevant documents, the Town of Rising Sun and its mayor, Travis Marion, went on the political offensive. In particular, portions of the town’s official statement claiming victory in the MDE’s decisions and posted on social media could make a libel lawyer salivate at the potential for a high-fee case. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) recently approved Cecil County’s updated Master Water and Sewer Plan with two changes sought by the Town of Rising Sun: inclusion of possible future town water [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Water service provided by the Meadowview water plant in northern Cecil County was disrupted Friday for most of the day, with some business and residential customers losing all water service and others, including Gore manufacturing facilities, suffering major reductions in water pressure. The disruptions were caused by a “major system disruption” in facilities owned by United Water of Delaware, which contracts to provide daily water flows to the Meadowview facility, according to Scott Flanigan, Cecil County Director of Public Works. Tanks owned by the company failed and drained “almost immediately.” The Meadowview water system also relies on county owned-wells that continued to function normally, Flanigan said. But an on-site water tank owned by the county had been drained about a week ago for painting and maintenance so it was not available to provide back-up water supplies, he added. The problems began at about 5:45 a.m. Friday, with about 25 percent of customers losing all water and the rest suffering major reductions in water pressure. Flanigan said that some of Gore’s manufacturing processes were affected by the water pressure reductions. By late afternoon, repairs to the Delaware firm’s facilities were underway and water had been restored to most Meadowview customers, although [&#8230;]]]></description>
