After a major disruption caused by a 30-inch water main break on York Road, Baltimore City's Department of Public Works has restored water to the residents and businesses of Cockeysville. The rupture, which occurred last Friday, initially released gallons of water into the surroundings and resulted in a temporary service disruption, as reported by WMAR-2 News. A quick response from DPW crews, who worked overnight, ensured that the necessary emergency repairs were completed the previous day.

While water service is now back to normal, York Road remains closed from Schilling to Ashland Road as of this writing. The reopening of the road is tentatively scheduled for today, July 20, pending both restoration efforts and safety evaluations.

Residents experiencing issues such as water shortages, extremely low pressure, or persistent discoloration have been advised to contact either 443-263-2220 or the City's 311 call center, according to CBS News Baltimore.
