Coral Hind July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 A large water outage is scheduled for southern Prince George's County starting this afternoon. If you need to do a water change or top off your ATO storage tank you better do it now. The system will take about 12 hours to drain down but once the water is completely off it could be off for about three days to fix the 54" main. Here is a map of the affected areas: http://gisweb.wsscwater.com/waterrestrictions/ http://www.wtop.com/58/3389798/Days-without-water-for-Prince-Georges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 Thank you Coral Hind. Another example of one of the benefits of being a WAMAS member. I really hope the WSSC gave a direct notice to those that will be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind July 16, 2013 Author Share July 16, 2013 It would be nice if they did notify everyone affected but with it being an emergency fix and such a large area I doubt they will go door to door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 Good point. The last few storms Pepco called prior to the storms, I don't know if WSSC has the same capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanM July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 Sounded like they were narrowly averting a big blowout. Also sounds like they have to actually build roads to get back to the break location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridetheducati July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 The outage could last for anywhere between two and five days and will affect people living in Temple Hills, Morningside, Forest Heights and Oxon Hill. The interruption will also affect Andrews Air Force Base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
