The final touches of a series of state-mandated upgrades to the city of Frederick’s wastewater treatment plant are continuing, with nearly $150,000 in purchase orders approved Thursday.

The state-mandated enhanced nutrient removal, or ENR, upgrade, at the Gas House Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant aims to reduce pollutants in the wastewater that flows into the Chesapeake Bay. The project includes a $44 million upgrade to the plant itself and several other water- and sewer-related projects for a total roughly $55 million. Part of the project’s cost is grant-funded, with the remaining roughly $28.1 million coming from a low-interest loan.

And it’s only since Ron Young was Mayor to get done.
