Baltimore, MD responds to capacity-related sewage backups with Sewage Onsite Support Cleanup Pilot

Baltimore, MD Sewage Onsite Support Cleanup Pilot

In Progress

The one-year pilot responds to property-damaging backups caused by overwhelmed sewer capacity. Impacted households call 311 when backups occur after storms. A public works inspector evaluates each case for approval of third-party cleaning and disposal at no cost to the resident. Households that wish to use their own contractors can apply for up to $5,000 per incident under the Expedited Reimbursement Program.
