July has been a month of historically heavy rainfall in Baltimore, and more is in the forecast this week.  These rains have resulted in large amounts of rainwater entering the City’s sewer mains, causing overflows into streams and the harbor.  The updated overflow totals of stormwater mixed with sewer water due to rain stands at 45 million gallons for the period of Saturday, July 21, through Wednesday, July 25. 

Baltimore City Public Works Director Rudolph S. Chow, P.E., today announced that the agency has received the 2018 Water Environment Foundation’s (WEF) Public Communication and Outreach Program award for the YH20 Water Mentoring Program. This DPW program prepares young Baltimoreans for a career in the water industry.

So far July 2018 is the second wettest month in the history of record-keeping in Baltimore. The continuous rainfall has resulted in tremendous amounts of rainwater entering the City's sewer mains, causing numerous overflows into area streams and the harbor.
