Largo, MD - Effective July 3, 2017, administration of Prince George’s County’s water and sewer plan, water/sewer category changes and water/sewer approval of record plats, previously processed by the Department of the Environment (DoE), will now be processed by DPIE. Residents and builders seeking connection to public water and sewer services, or a waiver for septic systems or private wells must have authorization from DPIE. To advance a project, developers must have the proper water and sewer service category; any changes to a category must also be authorized by DPIE.

All submittals of water/sewer category changes and record plats must be delivered to DPIE’s Permit Center at 9400 Peppercorn Place, Suite 100, Largo, Maryland. The submittals will then be delivered to DPIE’s Site/Road Plan Review Division for processing by the same staff currently managing these requests. Shirley Branch and Anthony Newsome have been delegated to DPIE’s Site/Road Plan Review Division.

“We are pleased this change will further streamline the permitting process for DPIE’s customers. This brings us closer to the one-stop shop concept initiated by County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III,” said DPIE Director Dr. Haitham A. Hijazi.

If you have any further questions regarding the delegation of water and sewer services to DPIE, please contact Mary Giles, Associate Director, Site/Road Plan Review Division at 301-636-2060 or mcgiles@co.pg.md.us.
