PREVENTING, REDUCING, OR ELIMINATING THE POLLUTION OF THE
WATERS OF THIS STATE; AND

(2) TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES OF THE SEWERAGE
FACILITY TO CONSUMERS AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE COST.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first
sentence and the second and third clauses of the
second sentence of former Article 43, § 429.

The defined term "development" is substituted for
"planning, acquiring, purchasing, constructing,
reconstructing, improving, bettering or
extending", for conciseness.

The former terms "public advantage" and "safety"
are deleted as unnecessary in light of the scope
of "health and welfare".

In item (1) of this section, the term
"eliminating" is substituted for "abatement", for
conciseness.

Also in item (1) of this section, the former
terms "rivers" and "streams" are deleted as
included in "waters of this State".

The first clause of the second sentence of former
Article 43, § 429, which related to purposes for
which a sewerage facility may not be operated,
now appears in § 9-804(c)(2) of this subtitle.
