269 days ago: Sewage overflow leads to stream warning
Howard County (Map, News) - Howard County health officials are warning residents to avoid contact with a Laurel stream after 23,000 gallons of sewage overflowed.
The county’s Bureau of Utilities was notified Tuesday of an overflowing manhole behind a group of homes in the 9500 block of Linville Avenue near North Laurel Road, health officials said.
The overflow appeared to impact the nearby stream, health officials said. The few nearby homes will likely not be impacted by the overflow.
Utilities officials removed the blockage, and applied lime to the manhole area and pool of water, health officials said.
For more information, call 410-313-4900.

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.
