WELCOME
to the
TOWN OF
UNION BRIDGE

Welcome to the official website for the Town of Union Bridge.

 

Union Bridge is located in the heart of the Piedmont Plateau on the western edge of Carroll County. The gently rolling terrain and meandering streams offer outstanding rural scenes at every turn in the road.

 

Settled as a farming community well before the Revolutionary War, Union Bridge was chartered by the Maryland General Assembly on May 2, 1872.

 

The town’s leading industries are the Lehigh Portland Cement Company and the Maryland Mid-land Railroad located on North Main Street.

 

Visit our "History" page for more information about our small and beautiful communities past.

 

The town's  Code of Ordinances (pdf) and the Union Bridge Town Charter (pdf).

The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) has mandated that all water supply systems under its jurisdiction comply with the January 15, 2021; Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. Accordingly, the Town of Union Bridge is obligated to fulfill certain requirements of the revisions. The first action is to develop an inventory of every water service pipe in the Towns water system; which must be submitted to MDE by October of 2024. Water service pipes begin at the connection with the water main in the street and extend to its point of entry into the home or business, which includes the private portion owned and controlled by the property owner.

 

Identification of the pipe material entering the building provides important information regarding the privately owned portion of the water service pipe material and is necessary to be included in the inventory database. Service pipes consist of a number of different materials. Typical service pipe materials are copper, galvanized steel, plastic, brass and sometimes lead.
 

In order for the Town to comply with MDE's Service Line Inventory requirement, we are asking property owners to identify your water service pipe material as it enters your home or business, typically located in the basement.

​

The Town has mailed letters to all property owners within the Town Limits that provides an explanation of the situation and what we are asking all property owners to do as soon as possible. If you missed or did not receive this letter, select any portion of the above text to be taken to the "NOTICES" page of this website to view a copy of the letter along with a link to a video showing you how to easily identify the type of plumbing material used in your building.
