On the afternoon of June 4, 2019, DPW crews noted the leakage of a broken sewer line into a storm drain at West Northern Parkway and Cylburn Avenue. Crews completed a bypass pumping operation on June 5, stopping the overflow of slightly over 11,100 gallons. The broken main will be replaced and returned to operation. Most of the overflow entered the Jones Falls via the drain.

Waterways throughout Baltimore City are considered impaired, and may not meet applicable standards for body contact recreation, including swimming, regardless of the impact of a specific sewer overflow.  Accordingly, the City discourages such contact with all surface waters.

Baltimore City continues its massive $2 billion Sewer Consent Decree rehabilitation and replacement work.
