A heads up for people who live in the Camp Springs area of southern Prince George’s County.
WSCC Water is asking customers to limit their water usage to help avoid a Boil Water Advisory and preserve water in case of a fire.
WSCC says crews are currently working to restore water flow to the Camp Springs water tank.
The advisory impacts nearly 1,400 customers. Until further notice, customers are asked to stop all outside water use, take shorter showers, limit flushing and the use of washers and dryers.
Parts of the D.C. area have been under an ongoing drought for weeks, with only brief relief after Tropical Depression Debby came through last week. Debby improved river levels and stream flows, which is what the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin expected.
You can find out if your one of those customers by heading to WSCC’s website and searching your address on the interactive map.
