Water Project on Seven Courts Drive, Perry Hall
Baltimore County will replace 4,000 feet of water line in parts of Seven Courts Drive, Proctor Lane and Gunview Road. Contractors will replace four- to 24-inch diameter prestressed concrete pipe with ductile-iron pipe in a project that is anticipated to take between three and six months to complete. The project will cost $1.5 million. As the work progresses, residents will be kept informed by the contractor regarding temporary water shutoffs and parking changes needed to facilitate progress. Driving lanes disturbed by construction will be resurfaced at the end of the job.

Sewer Relining Project in Carney, Perry Hall and Towson
The Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPWT) began an extensive sewer relining project in Carney, Perry Hall and Towson in May. It’s 45 percent complete. More than 12 miles of sanitary sewer pipe will be relined during the next year and a half. 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.
Information: Email engineering@baltimorecountymd.gov.
Towson Improvements
In cooperation with the Towson Row development, the Department of Public Works and Transportation is improving sidewalks on Chesapeake Avenue between Washington Avenue and York Road. The majority of construction on the north and south sides is complete. The remaining work includes the first block off of Washington Avenue on the north side. Sidewalk construction will be completed in the spring.

Stoneleigh-Anneslie Storm Water Project
The Department of Public Works and Transportation is addressing stormwater concerns in the Stoneleigh-Anneslie community and updating the century-old drainage system. Baltimore County earmarked $1 million for the project in 2018. A system was designed in 2019 and the County's contractor began work in February 2020. Work is ongoing and is about 90 percent finished. Construction hours, traffic changes, temporary water shutoffs and parking impacts are being announced as the job progresses.
