Point Pleasant-Shoreland Improvement Assoc. (PPSIA) questioned the office of our County Council representative Allison Pickard about the contaminated water in parts of Baltimore City. The response is below:
**********
The concern and discussion about testing I believe came from an old map that Baltimore City first issued with their boil water advisory, which incorrectly showed them supplying water for some neighborhoods in the Brooklyn Park area of AA County. Early yesterday [Sept.6] Anne Arundel DPW put out this notice on social media:
Anne Arundel does not currently purchase any water from the City of Baltimore. Therefore, no Anne Arundel County public water customers need to boil water. Comprehensive upgrades to our system have led to full autonomy of our water needs, eliminating the need to supplement our water supply with purchases from the City for the last several years. To be clear, no water from the City of Baltimore entered the Anne Arundel County public water supply system.
They later posted a this link once Baltimore updated their map:
City of Baltimore corrects boil water advisory map to remove Anne Arundel County. Public water customers in AACo did not and do not need to boil water.

Further information about Anne Arundel Water reports can be found at this link: https://www.aacounty.org/departments/public-works/utilities/forms-and-publications/water-quality-reports/
The website also indicates: The report can also be obtained by calling DPW Customer Relations at (410) 222-7582 to have a copy sent by mail.
If you have additional questions the general DPW phone number is: (410) 222-7500.
