Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) Director Rudolph S. Chow, P.E., today is extending his gratitude to City residents, commuters, businesses, and visitors for their patience while teams of workers pursue a long-term fix to the sinkhole discovered July 8 on Howard Street at Pratt Street.

The Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) estimates that over 3.6 million gallons of storm water combined with wastewater overflowed into the Jones Falls when heavy rains hit the City during evening rush hour on Thursday, July 11, 2019. The evening’s heavy rains caused an additional 2.4 million gallons of storm and sewer water to flow into the Herring Run Stream.
