BALTIMORE, MD (April 30, 2014) – Public Works Director
Rudolph S. Chow, P.E., reminds everyone that the Baltimore City Department of
Public Works (DPW) will be holding Prettyboy Day on Saturday, May 10, from 9
a.m. to 1 p.m. at Prettyboy Dam.
The event is to celebrate and educate attendees about
Prettyboy Dam and Reservoir, one of Baltimore's three raw drinking-water
reservoirs. The event will feature live musical entertainment by
singer/guitarist Dave Huber, face painting and balloon animals for the kids,
educational displays, a surprise competition, and food.
Attendees of all ages can take a tour inside the Dam which
will be open to the public only for this special day. Learn about Baltimore's
drinking water system, resource issues and conservation efforts. Rescued native
wildlife from Scales and Tales will be on display and experts from the Maryland
Department of Natural Resources will be on hand to tell all about them.
Last year 150 new trees were planted near the Dam. This year
attendees can participate in applying protective wrappings on them. Local
historian George Lang will also be on hand again with his historic archives.
“We are very happy to be able to showcase Prettyboy
Reservoir and Dam, vital elements of our drinking-water system,” said Director
Chow. “This is a tremendous opportunity to have fun while learning at a beautiful,
outdoor location.”
Prettyboy Day is sponsored by the Baltimore City Department
of Public Works, the Prettyboy Watershed Alliance and RK&K. Additional
support is provided by Baltimore County. The dam is located at Prettyboy Dam
Road, 21120.
Prettyboy Day celebrates National Drinking Water Week, May
4-10. The theme is “What do you know about H20?” and encourages all citizens to
learn more about the critical role water plays in our lives and the quality of
life we enjoy because of clean drinking water.
The event and parking are free. For more information about
Prettyboy Day call 410-545-6541.
