Show your support for USDA Rural Development by signing the pledge!


USDA Rural Development Water and Environmental Programs has consistently supported rural communities in completing necessary upgrades to their water and wastewater facilities.

WEP is instrumental in helping rural America maintain affordable water access for all rural people, and it is imperative that Rural Water’s voice and priorities are heard within the Halls of Congress and within our nation’s leadership. Through our combined thousands of rural leaders from every state, we can ensure Congress and the Trump Administration know that WEP is the trusted partner for rural America and must be maintained.

“The quality of Walkersville’s tap water is the best in the state, according to judges at a recent convention.

The town’s water was awarded first place at the recent convention of the Maryland Rural Water Association in Ocean City, according to an announcement from the town.

The annual “Toasting the Tap” contest judges water from municipalities around the state on taste, appearance, and odor, as evaluated by water facility workers in Maryland.

Walkersville’s water was recognized out of 15 entries, according to the town.

The Department of Public Works’ Landon Hollinger was also recognized as “Rookie Water Operator of the Year.”
