Baltimore County earmarked $1 million for the project in 2018. A system was designed last year and the County's contractor began work in February with the relocation of water lines. Work is ongoing (following COVID-19 delays in the spring) and crews are installing pipes and manholes on Kingston Road, Wardman Avenue, Marlborough Road, Avondale Road and a part of Regester Avenue. Completion is expected by the summer. Working hours, traffic changes, temporary water shut-offs and parking impacts are being announced as the job progresses.
