Explosion at Wastewater Plant

A major explosion at the Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant injured two contractors—one critically, the other seriously—while a third arrived unharmed. The blast knocked out power, triggering a sewer overflow on Patapsco Avenue, but crews contained the spill and restored power. Authorities suspect an electrical fault or arc flash during ongoing upgrades, ruling out plant operations or hazardous materials. The Maryland Department of the Environment is now investigating, and all upgrade work has been halted. Families are reeling, and the public is watching closely for answers.
