Baltimore Work Group Advances Risky Plan To Move to Single Regionalized Water, Sewer System
Advocates slam the recommendations for excluding key equity protections for residents and necessary financial analyses The Baltimore Regional Water Governance Model Work Group has voted to recommend a single operating structure for the water and wastewater system serving Baltimore City and County, overseen by a new board. The city would cede an unspecified degree of control to the new board, which would take one of two compositions: a 10-member board with an equal split board of five members from the city and five from the county, or an 11-member panel with five members. The work group also recommended changes to state law to enact its recommendations and to extend the work group to oversee implementation. Advocates have criticized the plan for excluding key equity protections for residents and financial analyses. The decision comes after a report by Food & Water Watch found that water bills in Maryland grew twice as fast as median household income in the state.
