Water
The Water Department is part of the Town’s Department of Public Works.
For general information about the Water Department, or to report problems with water service during normal business hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., please call 410-758-1180.
If the water problem is on private property (e.g. on the customer’s property or the customer’s side of the water meter), please contact a licensed plumber to assist. If the source of the problem is in the public right-of-way, and if you are not able to speak with a Town employee when calling the number above, and if the water problem cannot wait until the next business day, please dial the emergency dispatch number, 410-758-0080. Please report the specific location and nature of the problem.
The Water Department is regulated by the Maryland Department of the Environment.
The Centreville Municipal Water System includes two Water Treatment Plants. Each plant uses a filtration system to remove contaminants such as arsenic (chemical symbol “As”). Water tested at these Water Treatment Plants is compliant with current Drinking Water Standards.
The Town of Centreville also has a hydrant flushing program, which is intended to enhance water quality by flushing any accumulated sediments from water distribution system pipes, ensure chlorination throughout the system, and test pressure for emergency flow. This flushing is done off hours to minimize any inconvenience for our water customers. Customers may experience cloudy water during and immediately following such flushing, as sediments may be disturbed. If you observe cloudiness, please run taps until the water clears.
