Water Shutoff Scheduled on Beall Avenue Sept. 29

The City of Rockville will temporarily shut off water service at 500-545 Beall Ave. to complete improvements in the neighborhood.

The shutdown is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 29. In the event of rain, the work will be rescheduled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 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 Beall Avenue.
