No Leak In Reservoir Just Lack Of Fall Rains
Hagerstown water users rely on Edgemont and Cavetown reservoirs but autumn rains have failed to replenish the 100 million gallon Edgemont lake. Officials deny leaks or pilfering, citing groundwater absorption and dry weather. Only about one third full, Edgemont limits daily output to 300,000 gallons to conserve for emergencies, leaving areas east, west and south of Bridgeport without mountain water. When Edgemont runs full, city supply can reach 2.8 million gallons per day.
