This project supports design and installation of an Automatic Self-Cleaning Bar Screen System at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility to prevent excessive trash from entering the sanitary sewer system. The new equipment will reduce sanitary sewer overflow at the Whelan Lane pump station and decrease maintenance repairs to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) Water equipment. The project will also eliminate sewer overflow cleanup costs and penalties from WSSC Water.

Implementation is expected to begin in winter of 2024 and complete in late spring 2024.
