BALTIMORE (Map, News) - Baltimore County authorities are warning residents to avoid contact with two local streams after about 17,000 gallons of sewage overflowed this weekend.
The overflow occurred at 11:30 p.m. Friday at the White Marsh Sewerage Pumping Station, near Reames and Buttonwood roads after heavy rains forced stormwater into the sewage system. The problem was under control by Saturday afternoon, officials said.
The county is advising residents to avoid contact with the waters of White Marsh Run and Bird River, and is monitoring the site. Signs are posted.
Plans to replace the pumping station are expected to be complete by February 2008.

Disasters, Hurricanes, Tornados, & Wind Storms. We’ve all seen the after-effects, entire communities without power. It’s reported that on average 3.5 million people lose their power in the US each week! We bought a generator from MainPowerConnect.com that ensures our family has the power needed when faced with these unexpected outages. With back-up power, our home and business now stays well lighted, secure with our HAVC systems working, keeping us cool. With our generator the sump pumps keep running protecting us against flooding and keeping our food cold and fresh.
