Salisbury’s Waterworks Utilities Division is conducting emergency repairs on a damaged water main located in the 600 block of Baker Street this Tuesday, February 17. The repair work is part of ongoing citywide efforts to upgrade and maintain the municipal water distribution infrastructure.
City officials anticipate the repairs will be finished by approximately 3:00 p.m., assuming no unexpected complications arise during the process.
The construction zone has forced authorities to completely shut down Baker Street between East Railroad Avenue and Barclay Street, blocking all vehicle traffic from passing through the area.
Local officials have already contacted Wicomico Schools, Central Alarm services, and utility locator companies about the street closure. Residents experiencing water service interruptions or dealing with broken pipes can contact the Salisbury Police Department’s non-emergency number at (410) 548-3165, and utility personnel will be sent to assist.
City representatives are asking for public understanding and patience while crews complete the necessary infrastructure repairs.
