Laurel, Md. – August 20, 2024, 2:15 p.m.  – WSSC Water thanks customers in the Camp Springs area of Prince George’s County for their conservation efforts and urges residents to continue to use water for essential purposes only.

The essential water use request is affecting approximately 1,366 customers in the Camp Springs area. Type your address in the interactive map to find out if you are located in the affected area.  

Following the guidance below could avoid a Boil Water Advisory for the impacted area and help preserve water for fire protection as water slowly fills the Camp Springs water tank.

Until further notice, all customers are being urged to: 

  • Stop all outside water use – no watering lawns, no washing cars, no topping off swimming pools. 
  • Use water only as necessary – i.e., take shorter showers and quickly turn off faucets immediately after use. 
  • Limit flushing toilets (do not flush after every use). 
  • Limit using washing machines and dishwashers.

Crews completed water main repairs earlier this morning. WSSC Water urges customers in this area to use water for essential purposes only as the water level in the Camp Springs tank slowly fills. Crews continue to explore additional water distribution modifications to help expedite the filling of the tank.  
 

This essential water use only request remains in effect until further notice. If customers in this area are experiencing low pressure or no water, please call our Emergency Services Center at 301-206-4002.
