Enhanced Nutrient Removal is one of the newer and very expensive requirements from the state of Maryland. You can read more about it here: http://mde.maryland.gov/programs/re...er/publications/general/emde/vol1no7/enr.aspx
The largest treatment facility in St. Mary's County is now completing their ENR upgraded (mandated by law) Some, but not all of the $36 million dollar cost was covered by grant money. The plant must remain fully operational during the upgrade. Leonardtown is also in the process of upgrading their plant. And btw, if you think you Metcom bill is too high, be glad you don't live in Leonardtown, they have higher rates. Somehow that message never seem to get out
