Common Plumbing Problems in Edgewater Homes
It is an unincorporated community in Anne Arundel County with no city government. Anne Arundel County supplies public water here entirely from deep wells in the Patapsco, Patuxent and Aquia aquifers, 150 to 1,550 feet down. Many Edgewater homes, especially near the water, use private wells and septic systems instead.
The median Edgewater home was built in 1981.
