City Officials Meet With Poe Homes Residents, Air Out Concerns As Water Outage Continues
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — City officials met Sunday with Poe Homes residents to hear and address their concerns after people in a West Baltimore community have been living without water for almost a week.
Crews with the Department of Public Works were able to restore water to homes on West Lexington through a temporary bypass system, but they are still working to get water to the homes on the other side.

DPW said a water valve nearby broke last week, leaving people in the area without water.
They said because the water infrastructure is so old, fixing the break has been difficult.
