UMBC Not Included in Boil Water Advisory

Dear UMBC Community,

On Monday, September 5, Baltimore City issued an advisory for some residents to boil their water in response to E. coli bacteria detected in samples of the water supply in parts of West Baltimore.

UMBC’s main campus is not a part of this advisory. However, we are aware that some community members living off-campus and in adjacent communities may be. Anyone in this area is encouraged to review this information from the Centers for Disease Control.

Our Facilities Management team is monitoring the situation and will update the community if necessary. At this time, community members on campus do not need to take any action. 

Kathy L. Dettloff, Vice President for Administration and Finance
