[RP TownTalk] water main break at Madison and Taylor

[varcher at gmail.com]

Adrianne and neighbors,

There have been a large number of breaks throughout the area due to extreme temps a few days back. The breaks then become apparent as temps climb.  WSSC has been informed of the Madison/Taylor break and hopefully will be able to address it soon. Thanks to all who reported it to town government and WSSC. 

Best wishes, 

Vern

Subject: water main break at Madison and Taylor


 
Water is bubbling up in the middle of Madison Street at the corner of  Taylor 
Road.  It has been active from at least 8:30 am, when I first  saw it.  I 
reported it to the Riverdale Police dept dispatch, who declined  to report it and 
instead gave me the emergency number to WSSC.  I have not  been able to get 
through to WSSC; the line has been constantly busy for hours on  end. I 
reported it to the fire department since there is a fire hydrant just a  few feet 
away.  Almost 4 hours later, it doesn't look like anyone has  investigated or 
done anything so I reported it to the fire department  again.  And WSSC's 
emergency line is still busy.
 
This is a disconcerting trend since there seems to have been a similar  
problem at the corner of 410 and Taylor. What's going on and why is the response  
so slow?  This might only be a bad problem now, but the longer it goes on  it 
can become a neighborhood disaster...
