At their recent monthly meeting held on 21 Jan 26, the President and Town Commissioners of Pittsville passed and adopted RESOLUTION # 2026-01 which authorized the Town to borrow funding from the Maryland Water Infrastructure Financing Administration for the “Water Treatment Plant Upgrade/Phase IV Project.
The amount of funds to be borrowed is $918,616, of which fifty percent (50%) will be considered as a “loan forgiveness” after a ten (10) year period, thus becoming a grant to the Town. As a reminder, the total cost of the Water Treatment Upgrade/Phase IV Project is $2,719,016 of which 83% is/will be grant funded!
The Water Treatment Plant Upgrade Phase IV Project is due for final completion by the end of February 2026 if not sooner!
The Town Commissioners and Town Manager would like to publicly thank our dedicated public works employees for the fantastic job they all did in clearing our roadways and rendering them safe to drive on during the recent snowstorm these past few days!
The crew (Dale, Sean, and Johnny) worked very long hours over the weekend and have earned the thanks, appreciation, and gratitude from us all for a job “well done”!
Due to the impending weekend storm and out of an abundance of caution for town residents and employees, Town Hall will be closed on Monday, January 26, 2026.
Thank you for your understanding. Please stay warm and safe this weekend!
