To the Neighbors of Marlay Taylor WRF

Dear Neighbors,

Several months ago, we reported to you that the upgrade to the Marlay-Taylor Water Reclamation Facility, including the odor control portion of this upgrade was scheduled for completion in October 2005.

 Unfortunately, due to unforeseen repairs and construction delays, the expected upgrade completion has been pushed back to March 2006. This Commission has expressed to our engineering firm and construction contractor that the odor control portion of this upgrade is a top priority.

In the meantime, we are taking every measure possible to keep odors at this facility to a minimum. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions at (301) 373-5305 ext 217. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Mike Sullivan
