Baltimore County pays $3 million to resolve dispute with city over water bill

Baltimore County is paying $3 million out of pocket to Baltimore City to resolve a long-running tiff over unpaid water bills — a fraction of the $22 million Baltimore’s Department of Public Works billed the county in 2018 to recover years of undercharged water service. Per the resolution letter, dated July 8, the county will also pay the city $2.1 million to reimburse the public works department for water delivery unpaid by county ratepayers in the last two financial years.
