opened in 1961, and it has a capacity of 70 million gallons a day. Eventually it will be expanded, as needed, to a capacity of at least 200 million gallons a day, and it will serve both counties. Wells located on the Potomac slopes of Prince George's County provide a third source of water. Most of the sewage from the Commission service area is trans- ported through trunk sewers into the District of Columbia and is treated at the District's Blue Plains Pollution Control Plant. The Com- mission pays for this service on a metered volume basis, and it also contributes its share to capital improvement of the Blue Plains facility. The single sewage disposal plant operated by the Washington Subur- ban Sanitary Commission is at Laurel. The Commission is constructing two regional sewage treatment plants and trunkline systems to serve the Piscataway Creek and Western Branch Drainage Basins in Southern Prince George's County. The Commission's facilities are geared to an anticipated growth of the service area population to about 2,400,000 by the year 2000. The Commission annually reviews and updates a five-year program for development of its water and sewerage systems.
