The Modified Consent Decree Revised Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Plan has officially been released by the Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) and is available on the DPW Website for review and comment in accordance with the Modified Sanitary Sewer Consent Decree (MCD).
DPW will accept public comments pertaining to this document for 30 days, through November 24, 2023. Comments may be submitted directly to Michael.Shipman@baltimorecity.gov.
The Modified Consent Decree for Baltimore City’s sanitary sewer system was entered on October 6, 2017. The MCD requires the City to submit a revised O&M Plan to provide for the proper operation and maintenance of the collection system in order to minimize failures, malfunctions, and line blockages due to lack of adequate preventative care.
The goals of the Revised O&M Plan are to prevent:
- Sanitary sewer overflows;
- Minimize customer service disruptions; and
- Maximize the useful life of the collection system.
