[Jessica Barnes]

A boil water advisory has been issued for Wednesday Sept 3, 2014, because of
a broken water main at Tanglewood Drive near Alternate Route 1.

 

Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission issued the advisory for around
100,000 customers in areas of Hyattsville, Bladensburg, Mt. Rainier,
Cheverly, Chillum, Edmonston, Landover Hills, Glen Arden, and Fairmont
Heights.

 

WSSC says water should be brought to a rolling boil for one minute and
cooled before drinking it, washing dishes, brushing your teeth, or using it
to prepare food.

Water for pets should be boiled and then cooled for use.

 

The advisory is in place for 48 hours.

 

Although Riverdale Park was not mention in the story WSSC map indicates that
all areas south of East/West Highway is within the affected area.
