Water Shutoff Scheduled on Nelson Street March 4

The City of Rockville will temporarily shut off water service on Nelson Street at 800, 803, 805, 807, and 809 to perform improvements in the neighborhood.

The shutdown is scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. In the event of rain, the work will be rescheduled for Thursday, March 5, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Residents may notice discolored water or air in the lines following the shutdown. Running cold water for a few minutes usually clears discoloration. To remove air from the system, open a faucet on the top floor for a minute, then open other faucets one at a time from highest to lowest. Any water quality issues should resolve within 24 hours. Residents continuing to experience problems are encouraged to contact the city’s Operations Maintenance Division at 240-314-8567.

Questions about the planned water shutdown can be directed to Tim Faust, senior construction inspector, at 240-314-8542.
