As some Bowling Green residents woke up Monday morning, they saw the townâs public utility workers turning off their water.
A total of 251 Caroline County homes received notification in the past week that water would be disconnected for nonpayment. There were 78 such notices in the town of Bowling Green and another 173 that went out to other Caroline residents.
Eighteen disconnections took place in Bowling Green Monday. None had occurred elsewhere in the county.
The disconnection notices are the result of the county Board of Supervisors and Bowling Green Town Council both recently voting to implement an exemption from Gov. Ralph Northamâs moratorium on utility disconnections during the COVID-19 pandemic. Port Royalâs Town Council hasnât voted on the issue.
