The City of Cumberland Engineering Department would like to notify the public that the Fort Hill Potable Water Reservoir will be offline until October 6th, 2023. This is so a contractor can replace the liner and floating cover on the reservoir.

In order for the City’s water system to operate properly while the reservoir is offline, strategic hydrants have been opened throughout the city to help bleed the air out of the system and relieve the higher pressures. Water customers near the open hydrants may experience a moderate decrease in water pressure during this time.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this time. If there are any questions, please contact the City of Cumberland Engineering Department at 301-759-6600. If you are experiencing any other issues with your water service, please contact the City of Cumberland Water Department at 301-759-6625.
