Baltimore expects updates by Tuesday on parasite found in Druid Lake Reservoir, with new results coming

Baltimore City officials expect an update in the next 24 hours after a tiny concentration of a microscopic parasite was discovered in the Druid Lake Reservoir. The city anticipates getting results by sometime Tuesday from the latest round of sampling at Druid Lake, which will show whether the measurement of cryptosporidium in the open-air drinking water reservoir has changed since an initial sample from Sept. 19 flagged the presence of the parasite.
