Army to Install Groundwater Testing Wells

The work could cause road or lane closures on three streets in Odenton later this month.

The U.S. Army will begin installing water monitoring wells on three streets in Odenton, resulting in some possible road or lane closures. 

The Army will install the wells on Blue Water Boulevard, Nevada Avenue and Berger Street later in May. 

The three wells will monitor groundwater in the area, as part of an ongoing investigation into pollution stemming from old industrial sites at Fort Meade.
