We know residents have questions about the use of Susquehanna River water. This week, @BaltimoreDPW activated the Deer Creek Pump Station to draw water from the Susquehanna River and supplement the regional drinking-water supply. The water will be blended with reservoir water, fully treated and tested, and will continue to meet federal and state drinking-water standards. Our FAQ explains why this step is being taken, how the process works and what residents may notice. Learn more: tr.ee/A38nAY

☝️ One of the best ways to reduce textile waste is to keep the clothes you already own in use for as long as possible. 👚👖👗 Need something new? Think about where you’re buying from and how the item was made. 🔎

On Mon 10/5 @BaltimoreDPW will start using Susquehanna River water to supplement water from Prettyboy and Loch Raven reservoirs. There may be a change in taste, smell, or color, but water remains safe. baltimorecountymd.gov/depart… 1/3
