Patapsco River in Brooklyn Reopened

May 21, 2012 -- The Anne Arundel County Department of Health has reopened the Patapsco River in Brooklyn, Maryland, from Annapolis Road downstream. The Department had ordered an emergency closing and warned against swimming and other direct water contact due to a Baltimore County pumping station sewage spill on March 25. Based on sample results from the Baltimore County Department of Health, the Patapsco River water quality has returned to its acceptable levels.

Both flow into Curtis bay - then Patapsco.
