BERLIN, MD — Town officials say water seen flowing onto Bay Street from the Berlin Town Hall parking lot is linked to a recurring problem inside the building’s geothermal system. In a post made on the municipality’s official Facebook page, the Town confirmed crews have traced the source and are working on short term management while planning long term fixes.
According to the information shared online, the malfunction has surfaced periodically over the years. Town Hall is set for major renovations in the coming months, including a full replacement of its climate control system. Officials say that work will address the underlying problem contributing to the water flow. The Town notes it is balancing immediate response with cost control, opting to avoid significant spending just before the scheduled renovation. Crews are monitoring the situation and taking measures to limit further disruption or water impacts in the interim. While officials did not report any closures, they acknowledged public visibility of the overflow and asked residents to remain patient as work continues.
Town leaders say the upcoming infrastructure upgrades will modernize climate systems and resolve lingering mechanical issues once the renovation begins. Final planning and project timelines are underway. Officials thanked the community for its patience, stating that attention to the matter is appreciated and updates will continue as the process moves forward.
