Baltimore City Department of Public Works Director, Alfred H. Foxx, today advised citizens to beware of possible Public Works impostors.
 
Such impostors pose as city water workers and seek to gain illegal admittance into your home.
 
Citizens should remember the following:
Department of Public Works employees are not authorized to enter your home without your permission.
Our employees wear uniforms and have photo ID.  Always ask to see a Baltimore City employee identification card which includes a photograph.
Report any and all suspicious activity to the Police by calling 911.
