[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how the aging pipes and water mains and sewage treatment facilities, etc. are equipped to deal with such things?

My guess is they are not.

I encourage everyone to drive around some of the neighborhoods where families are quadrupled up and count the cars parked on the streets…and the yards. Ever been to Aspen Hill?

I’d rather the county take leadership on developing or incentivizing the development of intentional communities instead of just letting flippers throw together poorly constructed duplexes and triplexes. So, so, so very stupid. [/quote]

I imagine there would be some challenges. Our neighbor tore down a 1200 square foot old home and put up a 5500 square foot home getting rid of all the grass and mature trees to fill the whole lot.  Despite the water management plan that MoCo required them to have, our yard and our neighbor's yard which had never had issues in the past started to flood.  There was no place for water to go but our houses and we both had to pay for additional drainage because MoCo Planning said the builder had an appropriate water management plan and it was cheaper to pay for drainage than to get a lawyer and try to fight the builder.
