The Worcester County Commission will hear a plan next Tuesday that would add another 18-thousand gallons to the Ocean Pines Wastewater Treatment plant at Ocean Pines.

Ocean Downs wants to lay a force main 10 feet below the bottom of Turville Creek that would extend to Gum Point Road providing access to a sewer line for homes there as well.

The venue currently uses a septic system and drain field to treat its wastewater.

Ocean Downs drew 77-thousand visitors last year.

The Worcester County planning board has already given its approval lastJuly.
