Thank you for submitting your request to the Howard County Department of Public Works. Our staff will investigate this issue and respond. Jim B. Investigated 5/21/19. Observed ground water outside the fenced property. The picture is from Pen Shop looking towards 7031 property.

This is not from storms There is some kind of leak from the property at 7031 Pindell School Rd. Either lawn sprinkler system leak or sewer maybe?

Good morning user TimberCrest, I have spoke with the property owner and per our conversation, his private water system was checked and found to be in good condition. Additionally the storm drain system was checked up the street and across the street and it also was functioning as designed. The property seems to be on well and septic, so there are no leaks from the County infrastructure. This appears to be ground water. This is becoming more common in the past three years.

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.
