Recent public pronouncements about the quality of the treated effluent coming from Baltimore’s Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant (BRWWTP) have implied that untreated sewage is being discharged into Back River. This is not the case. This regional facility that treats wastewater generated by approximately 1.6 million people in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area every day, is delivering highly treated effluent back into the environment. From the very outset the City of Baltimore’s primary objective has been, and will always remain, optimizing performance at the Back River plant.
