Laurel –July 1, 2012 - Noon Update: The Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission (WSSC) is lifting the mandatory water restrictions,
effective immediately, however we encourage customers to be conscious
of their water usage during this extremely hot weather.

Power has been restored to almost all pumping stations and the
distribution system has returned to near normal levels following a
powerful storm Friday night.

If you did not experience low pressure and/or discolored water during
the restrictions, there is no need to flush the water lines at your
home or business. Resume water usage as normal.

If you did experience low pressure and/or discolored water WSSC recommends you:

    Flush the cold water lines in your home or business for five minutes.
    If you have a single-lever faucet, set it to run the cold water.
    Flush your refrigerator’s water lines for five minutes.
    Consult your owner’s manual for detailed instructions.
    Make sure the water in your washing machine is running clear
before you wash clothes.
    Doing laundry with discolored water can stain clothes.

If you still experience problems after flushing your cold water lines,
or if you have any questions, please contact our Customer Emergency
Call Center 24 hours a day, seven days a week at: (301) 206-4002,
1-800-828-6439 or TTY (301)-206-8345.
