The Town of Friendsville is reminding residents who live within town limits that gallon drinking water is available for pickup at Town Hall, 945 Community Drive.
They also want to acknowledge concerns regarding prolonged exposure to elevated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water. While short-term exposure is generally not the primary concern, long-term exposure over many years may be associated with potential health risks. These concerns may be particularly important for residents who could be more vulnerable, including elderly individuals, medically compromised residents, and underserved members of our community.
Gallon pickup is Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Residents who can’t make it during those hours can call Town Hall at 301-746-5919 to arrange another pickup time.
In its Nov. 9 announcement, the Mayor and Town Council thanked residents for their patience, understanding and cooperation “as we work through this together.”
Earlier this month, Deep Creek Times reported that Friendsville’s water system is set for a system-wide overhaul backed by an $800,000 federal Community Development Block Grant. Learn more from the town at friendsville.org.
