Wastewater Treatment Plant Problem Prompts Olszewski To Call For County Oversight

Maryland Environmental Services took temporary control over Baltimore City’s wastewater treatment plant on March 27. In a three-page statement on Friday, Maryland’s Department of the Environment used the phrase “not raw sewage” five times in describing the results of samples collected last week. That is encouraging news, and it comes amid strong odors and warnings that those odors will get worse with rain run-off and warmer weather.
