		<description><![CDATA[A stumbling block to bringing safe, clean water to three Earleville communities with wells polluted by a US Army Corps of Engineers dredge spoil dumpsite has been overcome with a new commitment by state environmental officials to require homes to connect to the water system once it is completed. Without such state action, there were concerns that there could be cross-contamination from old wells or too few homes would tie-in to the new system to make it financially viable. The Town of Cecilton is planning to run a seven-mile water pipeline from the town to serve the Earleville communities of West View Shores, Bay View Estates, and Sunset Pointe. In an 8/21/14 letter to top Cecil County officials, Robert Summers, Secretary of the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), wrote that after the new water system is finished, “the Department will take the actions necessary to require residents to connect” to the new water lines. In addition, Summers said, “the Department may also order that the property be connected and that the well be abandoned where an existing well is or could become prejudicial to public health.” And MDE “supports the abandonment and sealing of all on-site wells to avoid [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was the Scott Flanigan show at the Cecil County Council Tuesday morning, as the county’s Director of Public Works, with a supporting cast of staff and consultants and charts projected on the wall, waded through the muck of the county’s Seneca Point sewage treatment plant&#8211; and made a strong case for spending $29 million in county funds to proceed with a modern but proven technology to meet state-mandated cleanup standards while also preparing for potential future expansion of sewage services. But, like in any good drama, he had an antagonist on the stage: County Councilor Diana Broomell (R-4), who questioned the technology, growth projections, and whether the former County Commissioners—including herself&#8211; really knew what was going on when they voted in the past to support the technology and its costs. In a post on her website here: https://dbroomell.blogspot.com/2013/04/i-am-very-concerned-that-cecil-county.html Broomell argues that the costs are excessive and the immediate requirement of meeting new state environmental standards could be met for free by doing a bare-bones technology that would be paid for in full by a state grant.
