Baltimore Water Levels Rise Above Limits

Baltimore Public Works warns residents in Sparks, Loch Raven-Hillendale, and Bird River-Harewood Park that routine water tests detected elevated levels of TTHMs — chlorine by-products formed when water heats up and reacts with organic matter. While no immediate action is needed and there’s no danger to health right now, long-term exposure could increase bladder cancer risk or affect reproduction. Warmer reservoirs due to drought and heat are driving the spike — levels averaged above the EPA’s 80 ppb limit over the past year.
