We will make every effort to avoid a complete loss of water service, however, we will be establishing a water station, starting at 7:00 pm, which will be located at the Beechtree Community Center, 15511 Beech Tree Parkway, Upper Marlboro, MD 20774.

Helpful tips for this temporary loss of water pressure:

Before:

  • Consider storing water in advance for short-term use.
    • Drinking water – clean glass or plastic containers.
    • Other purposes – sinks, bathtubs, laundry tubs, coolers or pots, and pans.
    • Make sure large containers of water are not accessible to children.

During:

  • Do not wash clothes during this time as they may become stained.
    • If you experience stained clothing as a result of this event, contact the Communications Office at 301-206-8100 or by email at "> to request Rit Rust Remover free of charge

After:

  • When water pressure is fully restored, you may experience discolored water or have air trapped in your water lines. See flushing video to the right.
