Good afternoon Retrievers!

As you may have heard, on Monday, September 5, Baltimore City sent out an advisory for some residents to boil their water in response to the detection of E. coli in samples of the water supply to West Baltimore.

While the UMBC campus was not included in the advisory, we know that we have a large number of students who are living off campus and want to share information on  what to do and where to find water if you are living in an impacted area. General information is also available from the Centers for Disease Control. You can also check the Department of Public Works social media platforms, Twitter (@BaltimoreDPW), and Facebook, for updates as this situation develops.

If any updates from this situation arise we will continue to share information with you. 

For questions email us at: ocss@umbc.edu

All the best,

OCSS
