 Senator Paul G. Pinsky ... your Annapolis Advocate 






 
 ...Your Annapolis Advocate 
A Boil Water Advisory (BWA) remains in effect for portions of Prince George's County due to a 24-inch water main break in Hyattsville on Tuesday evening. The BWA will remain in effect for approximately 48 hours. WSSC must conduct mandatory water sampling. Appropriate state and county officials have been advised of the situation.
 
Areas affected by the BWA include: Hyattsville, Bladensburg, Mt. Rainier, Cheverly, Chillum, Edmonston, Landover Hills, Glenarden, Fairmount Heights, Seat Pleasant, Brentwood and North Brentwood. An interactive map can be found on WSSC's website, where customers can type in their address to find out if they are in the affected area.
 
There are approximately 100,000 WSSC customers (30,900 customer accounts) affected by the BWA. If you live in the affected area you should boil your water before:
 
*             Drinking it
*             Making ice
*             Washing dishes (without a dishwasher)
*             Brushing teeth
*             Preparing Food
 
Water, including filtered water, should be brought to a rolling boil for one minute and cooled before using. This includes water for pets.
 
The 24-inch water main that broke Tuesday evening is 59 years old. WSSC crews were able to isolate the break and at this time no customers are without water. Repairs will be made at a later date. When a water system, or in this case a small portion of a water system, loses pressure there is an increased risk of contamination. There is no evidence of contamination at this time, but WSSC recommends that you boil your water as a precautionary measure if you live in the affected area.
