The Baltimore City Department of Public Works reported a water main break near the intersection of North Point Road/ Kane Street in the Colgate area of Dundalk.
It has been reported as a 16-inch main and is currently affecting 25 businesses in the area. DPW stated that this will impact water service in areas bounded by North Point Road, Baltimore Street, German Hill Road and Markel Ave.
The above map shows the area impacted. DPW is ask customers to please be patient as they make their way to those neighborhoods.
During the winter season when the area goes through freeze and thaw cycles, especially when accompanied by heavy rain, the ground shifts and the pipes can break. Often as mains are repaired, others break, and they can be miles away.
DPW said crews and contractors actively monitor the number of new service requests and monitor weather conditions for inclement weather and their staff is working overtime to make sure the customers are without water for the shortest amount of time possible.
