Baltimore reports 2 sewer discharges of unknown amounts

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore officials say that two sewer discharges have released an unknown amount of sewage in residential neighborhoods.

The Baltimore City Department of Public Works issued a notice of the overflows Saturday.

One occurred in the Reisterstown area northwest of downtown and affected the stream known as Gwynns Falls. The other happened in the Poplar Hill neighborhood north of downtown and impacted the stream known as Jones Falls.

Officials urged people to avoid swimming or other contact with the impacted streams.

Should you buy a house with cash?

High mortgage interest rates may have you exploring alternative ways of buying your home that don't require a loan. And while the competition for a new home may not be what it was in 2021, for the right home you may still need to work to get a leg up on the competition. If you have the means, an all-cash offer is a great way to fast-track a deal and avoid the additional costs that come with a mortgage. A seller is more likely to accept your offer, and the success of the deal isn't reliant on a lender's OK following an appraisal. You'll also own the home outright after the transaction with no mortgage to pay each month.
