Susquehanna Water Update (10/8/26): What Happens Next
Susquehanna Blended Water Expected to Reach Households by Friday. Residents can use DPW’s interactive tool to see if their address is within the expected service area.
Susquehanna River water is not yet in the City’s water distribution system. DPW expects Baltimore-area households to begin receiving a blend of Susquehanna water and water from the City’s reservoirs by Friday afternoon, Oct. 9.

On Monday, Oct. 5, the Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) activated the system to begin bringing water from the Susquehanna River into the City’s current water supply. The water must travel nearly 40 miles to reach the City’s Montebello Water Treatment Plants.

The City is not switching to 100% Susquehanna River water. The initial blend is expected to contain approximately 20% to 40% Susquehanna River water, mixed with water from the City’s reservoir system. Because Susquehanna River water will be gradually blended with reservoir water, significant changes in water quality are not expected.

Once the Susquehanna water reaches the Montebello Water Treatment Plants, DPW will continue to treat and test the blended water to ensure it meets applicable drinking-water standards before it enters the water distribution system.

The Kennedy Krieger Institute is planning a $250 million expansion that will transform a patch of green space into a 10-story facility for people suffering from complex neurological and developmental conditions.

The East Baltimore health system plans to build a 220,000-square-foot Innovative Care Center next to its outpatient center at 801 N. Broadway. The facility will primarily be paid for with donor funds, but the project has also received $6.75 million in state funding so far, including a $4 million grant approved during a Feb. 18 Board of Public Works meeting. The Johns Hopkins-affiliated institution works with patients suffering from complex neurological disorders and disabilities who have rehabilitation needs that go beyond what most traditional hospitals can provide.

f you’re familiar with Morgan State University’s campus, then the 8-foot statue of Frederick Douglass that stands in front of Holmes Hall comes to mind. Completed in 1956 by James E. Lewis, former chair of the Morgan State Art Department, the sculpture remains a symbol of artistic excellence and cultural pride. Lewis, who led the department for 36 years, made a lasting impact at Morgan by establishing the James E. Lewis Museum of Art. His work became part of the university’s growing legacy and its enduring commitment to fostering a sense of privilege, passion, and purpose in collecting and preserving African American art.
