To provide public water and/or sewer to customers, the WSSC is sometimes required to build its main line(s) on private property. Prior to construction, the WSSC must acquire a “right-of-way” agreement from the current property owner for which the owner is usually reimbursed. The agreement is recorded by deed and filed with the county. Although the main line is built on private property, the property is still assessed FFBC to recover WSSC’s construction costs either the year following construction of the main line or following connection to the line, depending on the right-of-way’s location.
