Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rockville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.

The city awarded a contract to Ferguson Waterworks to upgrade its water metering system — a system modernization, not a rate change.
Potomac River interceptor / DC Water Fund federal support
The city plans to join WSSC and others in a letter to Congress backing federal funding for the DC Water Fund, which helps maintain the Potomac River interceptor serving Maryland, DC and Virginia.
