Water Shutoff Scheduled on Halpine Road and Halpine Walk Court Sept. 8

The City of Rockville will temporarily shut off water service at the following addresses to complete improvements in the neighborhood:

• Halpine Road: 5901, 5903, 5905, 5907, 5909, 5911, 5913, 5915, 5916, 5917, 5918, 5919, 5920, 5921, 5922, 5923, 5924, 5925, 5926, 5928, 5930, 5932, 5934, 5936, 5938, 5940, 5942, 5944
• Halpine Walk Court: 202-217, 219, 221

The shutdown is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8. In the event of rain, the work will be rescheduled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9.

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 Evan Shaw, senior construction inspector, at 240-314-8548.
