Anne Arundel Curbside Collections Delayed, School Meals Canceled

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — Tuesday’s curbside collection services has been postponed until Wednesday in Anne Arundel County due to the arrival of Tropical Storm Isaias. The National Hurricane Center currently forecasts the storm to pass through Maryland Tuesday morning bringing the potential for tropical storm-force winds, a two-foot storm surge and as much as six inches of rain to Anne Arundel County.

The county department of public works asks residents to limit wastewater discharge during and immediately after the storm to minimize the flow through the public wastewater system. In the event of a widespread power outage that would limit the ability to pump or treat water, the public works department encourages residents to draw and store water for drinking, hygiene and toilets. To report a water or wastewater emergency, contact 410-222-8400. To report downed trees on County roads call the DPW Storm Center at 410-222-4040.

Summer childcare/camp programs operating out of senior centers, aquatic centers and South County Recreation Center will be closed on Tuesday.
