The other Flint: Deep-blue Baltimore has some disgusting water problems

Deep blue Flint, Michigan is famous for the filthy water that comes from its taps.

But is Flint is hardly the only water-challenged city in the one-party blue paradises across the U.S.

There’s also Baltimore, which is all about bad water, bad wastewater, bad service, bad billing, bad pipes, and bad pollution.  Its problems dwarf Flint’s.

According to the Baltimore Sun:

Maryland’s Secretary of the Environment Ben Grumbles on Sunday directed the state to take charge of operations at Baltimore City’s troubled Back River Wastewater Treatment plant in Dundalk — the largest such facility in the state.

The extraordinary step came after the Maryland Department of the Environment “determined that the decline in the proper maintenance and operation of the Plant risks catastrophic failures,” according to Grumbles’ directive.

An inspection report released last week showed widespread maintenance issues at the city-run facility, all preventing it from adequately treating the sewage flowing in from both the city and Baltimore County. Environmental regulators believe that has resulted in massive discharges of partially treated sewage into the Back River, complete with nutrients and dangerous bacteria that harm the Chesapeake Bay.

  1. We get popped every billing for the Bay Restoration Fee, but we’re just paying to be canceled out by Baltimore’s bad government?

  2. Shows how corrupt Baltimore politians are. 85% of all money / grants grants of tax dollars does not go for curing the problem it was met for by in the poltians pockets.

    NO MORE TAX DOLLARS TO BALTIMORE UNTIL THEIR POLITIANS SALARIES AND BENEFITS ARE CUT BY MINIMUM OF 50%
