201 W. Monument Street
Baltimore Maryland 21201Free, Light Refreshments
Guest Speakers:
Kurt Kocher, Baltimore City Department of Public Works Public Information Supervisor
Edward C. Papenfuse, MD State Archivist and Acting Archivist for Baltimore City
William P. Stack, Center for Watershed Protection Deputy Director of ProgramsOld Baltimore began by relying upon wells and springs, went on with limited success to offer water through quasi private corporate subscription and eventually accepted the need for local government to take over responsibility for managing and supplying the public with safe, steady sources of drinking water. State enabling acts, large land acquisitions, flooding a mill town, laying pipes, building dams and reservoirs, treatment plants and tunnels and reaching accords across jurisdictional boundaries have all been part of the ongoing history of Baltimore waterworks between the Patapsco River, Jones Falls, Gunpowder River and the Susquehanna River.
