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

Baltimore's Department of Public Works protects the reservoirs behind 1.8 million people's drinking water and sorts 210,000 tons of refuse a year by hand. See how @BaltimoreDPW is carrying a century-old system into its next one. @APWATWEETS #PWX26 youtu.be/6bdif-tzhqY
