"Baltimore Urges Water Conservation Amid Pumping Station Fire"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by WBAL TV Baltimore
Baltimore City has issued a voluntary water restriction for residents and businesses in the city and several counties due to a fire at a drinking-water pumping station. The restriction aims to limit excessive water usage and avoid adding strain to the system while repairs are made. Suggestions to reduce usage include avoiding watering lawns, washing cars, and unnecessary faucet flow. The restriction does not affect normal usage for drinking, cooking, or cleaning.
