Thurmont approves bond for replacement of Old Pryor Road water line

That amount doesn’t include additional administrative fees, legal fees and contingency costs the project will require.

The town was approved for the drinking water quality bond — a 20-year loan — by the Maryland Department of the Environment.

The contractor has ordered materials for the project and is waiting for them to arrive, Thurmont Chief Administrative Officer Jim Humerick said. With the ongoing supply chain problems, that could take another eight or nine months, he said.
