In its latest Work Around Town update posted June 16, the town said water will be temporarily shut off Wednesday, June 17, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The affected areas are:

• 3rd St. from Greenwood to Erie Ave.
• Frederick Ave. between 2nd St. and 3rd St.

Why North Beach is shutting water off during the day

The town ties the daytime shutoffs to the installation of new water saddles. North Beach frames this as proactive work designed to reduce the risk of main breaks and unplanned water-service disruptions.

The town also describes the effort as an ongoing, phased project to replace original service saddles, with residents notified when work is scheduled in their area.

What to do before crews arrive

If you live or work on the listed blocks, plan for a short service interruption during the 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. window.

Part of North Beach’s FY 2027 capital plan

North Beach’s adopted FY 2027 budget materials include a Capital Improvement Plan item for “Water Service Saddles,” reinforcing that this is planned infrastructure work—not a one-off outage.

And in its FY 2027 budget announcement, the town says the Water Fund and Sewer Fund remain self-sustaining through user fees and that no increases to water or sewer rates were adopted for FY 2027.

Where to shop this summer (and where to park)

The market is held in the Senior Center parking lot at 9010 Chesapeake Avenue, North Beach, MD 20714. The Town’s market page says it’s scheduled for every Saturday during the growing season window—8:00–11:30 a.m.

SNAP/EBT, WIC, and Senior FMNP: what to know before you go

Calvert County’s farmers market guidance lists the North Beach Farmers Market as accepting SNAP/EBT and WIC, including Senior/WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) vouchers for fresh, local foods. For the 2026 season, Calvert County also notes shoppers can receive up to $20 in Maryland Market Money matching dollars each market day.

Because the Town’s vendor preregistration form asks vendors to indicate whether they accept FMNP (WIC & Senior) and SNAP, shoppers should still plan to ask at the stand if you’re using benefits.

How the town’s vendor rules help keep things consistent

North Beach’s 2026 Farmers’ Market vendor preregistration & guidelines lay out several operational rules that affect the regular market experience:

• Weather permitting: the market is listed as weather permitting, and cancellation information is to be posted on the Town’s website and social media (with a group email sent to vendors).
• Market day and hours: Saturdays run 8:00–11:30 a.m. starting April 18, 2026 and ending Oct. 31, 2026.
• Arrive/prepare timing: vendors must be ready to sell at 7:45 a.m. and the guidelines say there is no selling before 7:45 a.m.
• Prerep deadline for vendors: preregistration is due no later than 4:30 p.m. Monday, March 9, 2026.
• Attendance expectations: vendors must participate each weekly session and miss no more than two markets during the season (with forfeiture of a space for certain consecutive no-shows without prior notice).
• On-site signage: vendors must display a sign identifying their farm/company name and location and showing prices for products.

Practical tips for your Saturday visit

• Plan your Saturday routine around the recurring schedule: 8:00–11:30 a.m. through Oct. 31.
• Bring a bag: the Town’s June 27 listing encourages guests to “bring your own bag” and use the market’s disposal containers.
• If you’re coming after 11:00 a.m., expect the market to be winding down—its posted hours end at 11:30 a.m.
• If you’re using SNAP/EBT or WIC/Senior FMNP, ask vendors directly at their stands how items will be processed.

For residents and anyone commuting into town on weekend errands, the market’s steady Saturday calendar—and the Town’s clear operational/vendor rules—makes it easier to plan where fresh food fits into the week.

Adoption timing: Ordinance 26-01 adopted June 4; effective June 23

North Beach’s Budget Ordinance 26-01 was read and adopted June 4, 2026 and became effective June 23, 2026, after being read at two consecutive council meetings. The ordinance certification records 5 Aye and 0 Nay votes, with one council member listed as absent.

Property taxes: constant-yield framework and the FY 2027 rate

In the adopted budget materials, the town says it maintained the same property tax rate as FY 2026 and adopted the Constant Yield Tax Rate of $0.4859 per $100 of assessed value for FY 2027.

The budget explains that the constant-yield approach is intended to generate the same total revenue from existing properties as the prior year, even if property values rise—so changes tied only to rising assessments don’t automatically push taxes higher. The town also notes individual bills may still vary based on changes in state property assessment factors.

Southern Maryland Chronicle also reports that the budget reflects an increased county tax differential, projected to provide about $88,000 in savings to town residents by accounting for municipal services already provided locally.

Water and sewer: no adopted rate increases for FY 2027 (bills still depend on use)

The ordinance states it establishes fees for water and sewer for FY 2027 in the attached fee materials.

For the question most residents care about—whether rates were raised—Southern Maryland Chronicle reports that no rate increases were adopted for the coming year. Separately, the adopted budget explains that water and sewer services are supported through user service charges, with the sewer fund operating as a self-sustaining, user-supported fund.

That means water and sewer bills can still move based primarily on how much is used, even if the adopted rate schedules don’t change.

Debt and infrastructure: continued principal payments, plus a 6-year CIP

The adopted budget keeps debt and infrastructure priorities in view through both the operating funds and the utility enterprise funds, including principal-payment line items described as:

• SunTrust Refi 1991 Water Bond principal (water fund)
• WWTP ENR principal (ENR loan) (sewer fund)

For capital projects, the budget includes a six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). It lists FY 2027 projects such as Boardwalk Repairs (7th Street), generators for pump stations, SCADA, and Green Infrastructure – Construction.

Southern Maryland Chronicle adds that progress toward long-term debt reduction is part of the FY 2027 plan, reporting that one existing bond is scheduled to be paid off in January 2027, with two additional debts set for payoff in 2028.
