I know this has been a difficult time for our residents and we remain committed to keeping our communities informed about the recent E.Coli and coliform contamination impacting parts of West Baltimore.

@BaltimoreDPW It’s been more than 24h since new water samples were taken. Possible updates: “Test results are delayed because of x.” “E. Coli still detected. Next step is x.” “All clear. Next step is x.” Come on, y’all.

WATER DISTRIBUTION UPDATE: Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) will distribute water at these 3 locations Tomorrow beginning at 9 AM: LIMIT 3 GALLONS PER HOUSEHOLD

@BaltimoreDPW when do you expect to receive the results of your most recent water tests in West Baltimore? If results take 24h, where are we on that countdown?

@BaltimoreDPW You need to share this information across all of your channels. Posting only to Twitter is ineffective. There is nothing on your website about this issue.

WATER DISTRIBUTION UPDATE: Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) will distribute water at these 3 locations today beginning at 11 am:

This archive of the country’s longest-running Black family-owned newspaper—the Afro-American, which still publishes today—got its start as what’s known in the newspaper industry as a morgue, a resting place for reference files of newspaper clippings. atlasobscura.com/articles/afro-…
