Water from a new 10,000,000 gallon pond at Linganore filtration plant operated the facility for the first time as ice jams and turbidity challenged streams. Auxiliaries relieved potential shutdowns, while Monocacy river ice and rising creek levels influenced local flow. Repairs on East Patrick Street progressed with a six inch main replacement and temporary traffic controls to restore street integrity.
