Essential Water Use Only: WSSC urges 1.9M customers to conserve due to water main breaks/leaks
For Montgomery County and Prince George’s County, 1.9 million customers are urged to immediately conserve water due to a significant increase in water main breaks and leaks.
Immediate conservation efforts could avoid a boil water advisory, help preserve water for fire protection and increase system storage.
WSSC water crews are working around the clock to repair the dozens of breaks/leaks caused by frigid temperatures and working to locate additional unreported breaks/leaks.
Customers are encouraged to call WSSC Water’s Emergency Services Center to Report leaks/breaks or possible smell of chlorine.
