Limited water advisory in effect for parts of Prince George’s County
A heads up for people who live in the Camp Springs area of southern Prince George’s County, Maryland.
On Monday, WSCC Water began asking customers to limit their water usage to help avoid a boil water advisory and preserve water in case of a fire.
WSCC said crews finished restoring water flow to the Camp Springs water tank Tuesday morning, but are still urging limiter water use as the tank fills with water.
The advisory impacts nearly 1,400 customers in the area. Until further notice, customers are asked to stop all outside water use, take shorter showers, limit flushing and the use of washers and dryers.
Barring any changes in conditions, WSSC Water will provide an update at noon on Wednesday.
Parts of the D.C. area have been under an ongoing drought for weeks, with only brief relief after Tropical Depression Debby came through last week. Debby improved river levels and stream flows, which is what the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin expected.
You can find out if your one of those customers by heading to WSCC’s website and searching your address on the interactive map.
