Blue Water Baltimore is hopeful a new consent decree will help finally fix two city-run facilities that remain troubled.

Blue Water Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation say the state must do more to control runoff, much of it from Baltimore County, that inundates city neighborhoods and pollutes the Bay.

Leak, pressure, turbidity and other tests will be squeezed into 9-13 days to meet the federal deadline, DPW director says.
