On Monday, Baltimore City officials announced the detection of E. coli bacteria in routine water supply samples collected in West Baltimore, with the Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) issuing a required water boil advisory for residents in impacted areas including parts of West, Central, and Southwest Baltimore, as well as portions of Baltimore, Howard, and Anne Arundel Counties. According to Mayor Brandon Scott’s office, the advisory came after developments over the weekend, when DPW first learned of potentially contaminated water from a testing site near Sandtown-Winchester and Harlem Park.
