Water Shutoff Scheduled on Hungerford Drive and North Washington Street July 28-29

The City of Rockville will temporarily shut off water service at 510, 650 (Suites 100, 101, 102, 103, and 105), and 700 Hungerford Drive and 500 N. Washington St. to complete improvements in the neighborhood.

The shutdown is scheduled for 10 p.m. Monday, July 28 to 6 a.m. Tuesday, July 29. In the event of rain, the work will be rescheduled for 10 p.m. Tuesday, July 29 to 6 a.m. Wednesday, July 30.

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

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

A neighborhood advisory was mailed to affected properties on Hungerford Drive and North Washington Street.
