Many customers believe there is a difference in water rates between City and County customers. Reality: The actual amount paid by customers in both jurisdictions is about the same, with Baltimore County paying slightly more under the current rates.

We recognize the critical importance of Public Works services to our citizens. Keeping our public spaces clean and reducing illegal dumping both contribute to our quality of life AND reduces debris and pollutants into our streams, our harbor and the bay. Please use this calendar as a reference and do your part for clean streets, clean water and a clean City.

It is all too true that making ends meet can be a problem and a worry for those who have given so much of themselves and who should be enjoying their retirement. Instead of stress we need to give back to those who raised us, taught us and protected us. So many seniors are still giving through mentoring, volunteering and sharing their joy of life. Now we can give back through our LOW INCOME SENIOR CITIZEN WATER DISCOUNT PROGRAM.

The cost of providing water to almost two million people each day is directly tied to the cost of fuel, electricity and federal mandates.

This means that some of our citizens with limited incomes are finding it harder to make ends meet. That is why Baltimore City is offering assistance to those who may be having problems paying their water bills.

Please contact your nearest Baltimore Community Action Center for more information on how we may be able to help you.
