Water Outage Update
Water has now been restored to all households that were impacted by Sunday’s 36” water main break in Elkridge. Some residents within the affected areas namely Elkridge, Columbia, and Ellicott City may experience reduced pressure while our utility crews make repairs. Again, there is no need to boil water as the distribution system was promptly isolated under pressure which prevented contamination from entering the distribution system.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of all our residents during this time. I remain extremely grateful to our Department of Public Works for their efforts to pursue the call to action to ensure all our residents receive access to water. To report any persistent outages, please file a report with Tell HoCo here.

Where the Rubber Meets the Road
Last week, I joined my fellow state and local elected officials for the Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) annual Summer Conference in Ocean City. As MACo President, it brings me such joy to see many of our state and local elected leaders at this informative conference. It was a such an honor to kick off this conference at the Welcoming Session alongside Worcester County Commissioner President Chip Bertino, receive a key to Ocean City from Delegate Wayne Hartman, and hear from University of Maryland, Baltimore County President Valerie Sheares Ashby.
This year, attendance is already up by 30 percent which is due to our collective efforts to learn more about where the rubber meets the road. Throughout the conference, attendees had the opportunity to learn more about how county government delivers for our communities whether it is learning more about top policy issues such as workforce retention, affordable housing, increasing educational opportunities, or how to provide the best county services.

The Prowling Panthers
Located in Jessup, this 42-acre site, which seats more than 1,600 of our students, is Howard County’s first high school to open since 2005. When I took office, it was a priority to ensure this project could finally come into fruition; from us finalizing the deal to working with our state and local partners to invest more than $130 million and beyond. It has been a long road leading here so we would see this day, this reality.
I’m so grateful for the partnership with our Howard County Delegation, County Council, Howard County Public School System, Howard County Board of Education, and, most of all, our community for seeing this project become a reality. Congratulations to Principal Wazilewski and our entire Guilford Park Panther community. Here’s to a successful school year ahead!

Keep Our Kids Safe this School Year, Drive Smart
As students and staff prepare to return to schools on August 28th for the 2023-2024 school year, HCPD is working hard to ensure children, parents and teachers all arrive safely. Through its annual back-to-school initiative known as H.A.S.T.E. (Helping Arriving Students Through Enforcement), HCPD officers will focus on enforcing driver and pedestrian safety in school zones.
For the first three weeks of the school year, increased traffic patrols will be in place on roadways surrounding elementary, middle and high schools. Officers will focus on drivers who are speeding, failing to stop for pedestrians or driving distracted in those areas. They will also be checking for seat belt and child safety seat use to ensure all occupants are properly restrained.
HCPD is also reminding all drivers that buses serving the Howard County Public School System have been outfitted with external cameras. Launched last school year, HCPD’s External School Bus Camera program aims to ensure student safety by discouraging motorists from passing buses illegally. The state of Maryland’s fine for illegally passing a school bus is $250.
Additionally, HCPD’s Speed Camera Program is designed to encourage drivers to slow down in school zones and has fines set at $40. The cameras are rotated among various school zones in the county, which are posted in advance and updated every week on the program’s website.
Finally, all HCPD crossing guards have been outfitted with new lighted stop signs in an effort to improve visibility and the safety of students and guards. The signs were funded by fines collected through HCPD’s Automated Enforcement programs.
HCPD will continue to conduct traffic safety education and enforcement efforts throughout the school year.
