School’s out for summer! ☀️ With kids home, remember: “flushable” wipes aren’t flushable — they don’t break down and can ruin plumbing.
Only flush the 3 P’s:
🚽 Pee
💩 Poop
🧻Toilet Paper.
🪠 Save on plumbing bills!

Did you know Maryland has almost 3500 EV chargers? And according to AAA the average charging rate is $0.33/hour? What are you paying at the pump? If you've ever considered an EV maybe this is your sign to make the switch.

Nature built the Chesapeake Bay, from forests and wetlands to oyster reefs and underwater grasses. Protecting it takes all of us. This week, we are celebrating both the natural systems that support the Bay and the shared responsibility to protect them. #BayAwarenessWeek
