OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 FILE: DATE: FEB 3 1976 B-180221 MATTER OF: Perryville, Maryland - Sale of surplus water and ' / 2. use of VA sewage system DIGEST: 1. Perryville, Maryland, recreational park may be permit- ted to discharge sewage into Veterans Administration (VA) sewage system if VA determines administratively that arrangement is in interest of Government, and agreement constitutes only revocable license for limited use. 2. VA hospital which has water filtration plant currently running at half its rated capacity may sell water to town of Perryville, Maryland recreational park if VA administratively determines plant in ordinary course of business produces excess water and sale is in Government's interest. The Veterans Administration (VA) has requested our opinion as to whether its VA Hospital in Perry Point, Maryland, may sell to the town of Perryville, Maryland, approximately 10,000 gallons of fresh water per day, which are excess to its needs, and may offer the use of sewer lines to discharge approximately 2,500 gallons of sewage per day. The VA advises us that on November 14, 1972, the Department of the Interior deeded to the town of Perryville, Maryland, 44 acres of surplus land adjacent to the Perry Point, M'aryland, VA Hospital. The land is to be used as a recreational area for area residents and hospital patients. There are, however, no utilities available on the site, although a rest room has been built on the site, which the town hopes can be made operational through a hook-up with the VA Hospital water and sewage system. The hospital is located between the park and the town, and the park is almost one mile from the town limits. The hospital grounds cover all of the access routes between the park and the town, making it both difficult and expensive for the town to develop its own sewer and water system. The town proposes to install a meter on the water and sewage lines to measure the amount used by park visitors and to reimburse the VA for such usage. The VA Administrator states: * ** * * We see no objection to the matter of dis- charge, since the hospital sewage system discharges into the town system, and the hospital system has adequate EUBLISLD DL:C;:: capacity; discharge would be in the nature of an . easement across the hospital property.
