Thank you for reporting this problem. Service Request # 685988 has been opened to investigate this issue. During normal hours Mon – Fri 8 am to 5 pm call 410-313-4900 and reference the Service Request number for current status.

We inspected the area this morning and found no infiltration, overflows or structural deficiencies in the manholes or the lines. If you require more information, please contact the Howard County Bureau of Utilities at 410-313- 4900.

Thanks for coming out so promptly. However, there is still water coming down the hillside between my house and my neighbor. Did your staff go far enough down the hill to see the water? It’s a new situation, and is right over the sewer line. We’re unsure where it could be coming from.

I would like to ask for another visit, and if possible, call me so I can meet you: 410-218-9850.

Thanks again, Hal Bryson

If you can’t reach me before you come over, pls call my neighbor Brian Costello ar 301-503-7174. He can show you where the water is flowing out of the ground.
Thanks.

Thank you for submitting your request to the Howard County, Bureau of Utilities. Our staff will investigate this issue and respond. Please call 410-313-4900 should you need immediate assistance.

Thank you for your report. Our Inspector inspected the area yesterday and observed the water. A water sample was retrieved. The sample was analyzed and it was negative for fluoride and chlorine therefore, groundwater.

It appears that water drainage from the storm drain may be backing up due to debris in the channel. That storm drain water, unfortunately, flows to the nearby stream by crossing CA’s bike path. Would your office consider working with CA to fund a culvert from the storm drain to the stream? CA has recently had to repair the asphalt bike path due to water erosion, so they may be willing to help fund a culvert.
Thanks for your consideration.

Debris from the storm drain outfall has blocked the channel from the storm drain to the nearby stream. Please send out a back hoe to clear the storm drain channel. Thanks.

This outfall is located on CA property, CA would have to remove debris from their property to allow water flow more efficiently. County would not be able to perform work on CA property. Will have admin contact CA to inspect this issue.

Thank you for contacting the Howard County DPW Bureau of Highways. This issue is now closed in Tell HoCo. If you require more information, please contact Department of Public Works Highways office 410-313-7450.
