4M Gallons Of Sewage, Rainwater Overflow To Baltimore River

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore officials say more than 4 million gallons (15 million liters) of sewage and rainwater overflowed into a river as rain inundated the sewer system.
The city’s Public Works department tells news outlets the sewage and rainwater mix was released Monday into the Jones Falls.
Overflows were designed into Baltimore’s sewage system over 100 years ago, but are now being eliminated as part of a consent decree seeking to improve the system and water quality. Wor
