Much of Glen Burnie was built in the 1950s and 1960s, so galvanized water lines, ageing sewer laterals and old water heaters are the most common calls. Public water and sewer come from Anne Arundel County, and permits from the county's Department of Inspections and Permits.
Plumbing in Glen Burnie: what's different
Glen Burnie grew quickly after the Second World War, and many of those homes are now 60 to 75 years old. Galvanized supply pipe narrows with rust, causing low pressure and discolored water, and original cast-iron or clay sewer laterals start to fail. Newer townhouse communities and commercial buildings along Ritchie Highway and near BWI bring a different mix of calls.
