Sewer Relining Project in Carney, Perry Hall and Towson
The Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPWT) started an extensive sewer relining project (including manholes) in Carney, Perry Hall and Towson in May 2021 (the Gunpowder Project). It's 70 percent complete; most of the 67,000 feet of sewer line has been lined and the manhole work remains to be done. The project will cost about $5.8 million. Most of the work will be below ground with minimal impact to communities. However, with any project of this scale, there may be some traffic or parking issues, and occasional chemical odors. DPWT staff will issue periodic updates.

Sewer Pumping Station in Cockeysville
Baltimore County is modernizing the Cockeysville Pumping Station. Work began in April 2020 and modifications, now 98 percent complete and still in construction, have taken more than a year to finish and will cost $5,215,000.
