Water Shutoff Scheduled on Ritchfield Court March 24

The City of Rockville will temporarily shut off water service at 8-28 Ritchfield Court to perform improvements in the neighborhood.

The shutdown is scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the event of rain, the work will be rescheduled for Wednesday, March 25, from 9 a.m. to 5 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 Evan Shaw, senior construction inspector, at 240-314-8548.
