BERLIN, Md. — Town of Berlin officials have asked the public to help locate a possible water leak after their infrastructure monitoring system detected higher-than-normal water loss, according to a post on the town’s Facebook page. The town is asking residents to be vigilant for signs of a leak, including water running down streets when it hasn’t rained, water pooling in yards or grassy areas, and water running inside storm drains — listen carefully near the grate. Officials also requested that residents report any use of fire hydrants to fill tanks. Residents who notice unusual water activity during business hours can contact the Water Resources Department at 410-641-3845. After hours, reports should be made to the Berlin Police Department at 410-641-1333. The town emphasized that public observations could help locate the leak more quickly and assist in maintaining the efficiency of Berlin’s water system.
