## Resource

Baltimore’s Patapsco Wastewater Plant is in catastrophic shape—inspectors found crumbling infrastructure, toxic fumes, broken facilities, and even a deadly 2019 collapse. Workers say conditions are worse than reported, with dangerous machinery, poor ventilation, and ignored safety warnings. While city officials claim they’ve begun fixes, they dodged questions about why action waited until an investigation—and why employee alarms went unheard. The Inspector General insists frontline voices must be prioritized, but record access restrictions now block full accountability. This isn’t just a mess—it’s a life-or-death workplace in crisis.
