Council In Action
by Cathleen M. Vitale
Councilwoman, District 5

Health Warning!!!
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ORDERS EMERGENCY CLOSING
FOR CYPRESS CREEK IN SEVERNA PARK:
Warns Against Direct Water Contact
Annapolis (May 25, 2010) – The Anne Arundel County Department of
Health has ordered an emergency closing and warns against direct water
contact for Cypress Creek in Severna Park, Maryland. The closing is due
to an overflow of wastewater at the pumping station located at McKinsey
Road and Route 2. The overflow, which occurred overnight May 24, from 10
p.m. to 2 a.m., was caused by a power failure and may exceed 100,000
gallons. The closed creek will be reopened when water quality conditions
are determined to be acceptable by the Department of Health.
The Department advises people coming in contact with the affected water
to wash well with soap and warm water immediately. Clothing should also
be washed.
For more information on the status of the closing, visit the
Department’s website, www.aahealth.org, or call the Water Quality
Line, 410-222-7999.
