Water service fully restored in Cockeysville after major water main break
Water service has been fully restored to residents and business owners in Cockeysville after a major water main break Friday afternoon. The Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) crews worked through the night to complete emergency repairs to the 30-inch water main break on Saturday at 11223 York Road. However, if Baltimore County residents experience issues such as no water, very low pressure, or persistent discoloration, they may call 443-263-2220 or the City's 311 call center. York Road remains closed from Schilling to Ashland Road to allow for ongoing site work, according to DPW. A partial reopening of the roadway is tentatively expected on Sunday, July 20, depending on restoration efforts and safety assessments. Now that water has been restored, the water distribution site at the Giant parking lot at 11399 York Road has been closed. In the event of a water main break, DPW urges residents to take the following precautions: Run Cold Water – Flush your taps by running cold water for 5–10 minutes to remove any sediments Avoid Hot Water Use Initially – Do not use hot water until cold water runs clear to avoid pulling sediment into your water heater Clean Aerators – Remove and rinse faucet aerators/screens to clear any debris. Check for Discoloration – If water is discolored, continue flushing. If it doesn't clear, contact the number below.

Madison Heights residents frustrated after multiple water main breaks
Crews in Madison Heights are continuing to work around the clock to restore water service for residents and businesses impacted by nearly a dozen water main breaks throughout the city on Wednesday. Water main breaks occurred in the areas of: • 25305 John R• 28731 Dequindre• 32295 Stephenson• 29333 Stephenson• 1604 Elliott• 923 West Farnum• 32500 North Avis• 1255 Jenifer• 26630 Lenox "I didn't get any calls or any texts when it's going to be coming back," said Madison Heights resident Ashrafal Zabir. "There's already some frustrations around having to prepare for something like this," added Madison Heights resident Jasper Wurster. "I would not want this to push me over the edge as far as trying to find another location if needed." Madison Heights Mayor Roslyn Grafstein issued the following statement regarding the water main breaks: We were informed of an equipment issue at the North Service Center, GLWA's pump station located at Hall Road and Dequindre. When problems like this occur, they can trigger a sudden spike in water pressure, a phenomenon known as a "water hammer" or, technically, a hydraulic transient. This directly impacts the Dequindre transmission main, which supplies water to Madison Heights. In this instance, our system experienced a sudden surge in water pressure, well over 100 PSI, while our infrastructure is designed to handle normal levels of 60 to 70 PSI. Unfortunately, that kind of pressure is more than our water mains can tolerate, which led to multiple breaks occurring at the same time. Our public works team is working to repair the breaks and prevent future occurrences. The city appreciates everyone's patience as our crews work to restore service. CBS News Detroit has reached out to the Great Lakes Water Authority for comment. In the meantime, Grafstein says crews will continue working around the clock to repair water service, but does not have a timeline of when residents can expect the repairs to be completed.

London municipal officials say water is restored at Egerton Street apartment building owned by a man wanted in the U.S. Water service has been restored to a London apartment building owned by a man wanted in the United States. The building on Egerton Street is owned by Gareth West, accused of defrauding seniors out of millions of dollars through a grandparent scam. His whereabouts are currently unknown. City staff received a complaint from tenants earlier this month and issued a property standards order. Officers have been working with the mortgage company to resolve the issue. West owns another apartment building, located in St. Thomas. The building also had utilities shut off earlier this week due to unpaid bills.

Johor water cuts: Supply restored for some of 300,000 affected residents; pump repairs at halfway mark
He has also instructed other districts to provide support by sending water tankers and mineral water to the affected areas. 'While waiting for the full restoration of the water supply, 39 locations have been supplied with water through tankers in stages while 12 tankers remain stationed at the hospital,' said Fazli, who confirmed that 155,070 consumer accounts were impacted. 'We deeply regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate the patience and cooperation of all users throughout this period,' Fazli added. Earlier, he had said the disruption involved the supply of 318 million litres per day. In a Facebook post, Ranhill SAJ said repair works on the faulty pumps were at the '50 per cent mark' as of Thursday morning. Many residents have called for greater transparency on how long the disruption is expected to last. 'Give us an estimated timeline for full restoration. As experts in the field, surely it's not that hard to provide one,' Nik Asni Azwan commented on Ranhill SAJ's Facebook post on Thursday. 'You should at least say roughly what time or how many more days it will take, and which areas will have their water supply restored first. This is important so that people can plan their next steps,' said Jolin Tan on Facebook.
