Baltimore Mayor Encourages Residents To Call City About Water Service Issues

BALTIMORE (WJZ) --  Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is encouraging residents to contact Baltimore City for their water service needs.

In a statement the mayor said:

"Baltimore City is ultimately responsible for providing water services to both Baltimore City and Baltimore County residents, but we are appreciative of our ongoing partnership with the County as we respond to an increase in service requests, following the streak of sub-freezing temperatures our region has experienced this winter season.

Baltimore County residents experiencing water line damage should continue to call Baltimore City to log their service complaints at: 410-396-5352.

We are currently working with the County to amplify our response by dispatching a list of service request locations to their Department of Public Works. County investigators are following up on these requests, while City investigators will continue to focus on providing more immediate relief to Baltimore City residents"

The city has set up a command center to help them respond to the high volumes of calls coming in about disruptions of service and water main breaks in light of the cold weather.
