WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                   Ch. 612

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former HE § 9-227.

The word "each" is new language added to specify the
independent powers of the Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene and the Department of Natural
Resources.

The terms "water supply system" and "sewerage system"
are substituted for the former references to
"waterworks" and "wastewater works", for clarity to
conform to similar references throughout this
subtitle.
