Second Attempt at Water Main Repair Scheduled for Friday-Saturday

Some customers should prepare for service impacts

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

 

In order to make a repair to the 24-inch water transmission main on Bottom Road in Williamsport, the City of Hagerstown Water Division will be shutting down the R. C. Willson Water Treatment Plant (WTP) effective late Friday night, May 12, to enable crews to close valves and drain the transmission main so they can perform the work necessary to fix an existing leak.

 

Customers in Zone 1, which straddles Halfway Boulevard east of Wesel Boulevard, and those who are in higher elevations and closest to the plant “should prepare to be impacted,” with reduced water pressure or an interruption of service, , should prepare to be impacted.  They are likely to experience a reduction in water pressure or an interruption in service.  Bottling water and filling bathtubs is suggested in advance, and water conservation is highly recommended during the WTP shutdown—which is expected to last for about 8 hours.

 

As a result of the shutdown and repair work, some customers may detect discoloration in their water supply.  The issue is typically temporary, and can be remedied by allowing the cold water (and cold water only) to run until the water clears.  Customers who encounter problems should call the Water Distribution office at 301-739-8577, extensions 680 and 690, during normal working hours.  After hours, customers should call 301-223-7424.

 

Street paving work is expected to start on Monday, April 10^th.  No Parking Signs will be put up and traffic cones placed where needed prior to Monday.

The following streets will be milled and overlayed:

• East Maple Street from Frederick Road to South High Street
• South High Street from East Green Street to Cul de Sac
• East Green Street from South High Street to Frederick Road
• West Maple Street from South Westside Avenue to East Maple Street
• South Antietam Street from West/East Maple Street to East Baltimore Street
• South High Street and East Cemetery Street (at the intersection)

If possible, please try and avoid those streets as traffic delays will occur.
