Montgomery County’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) advises residents that water quality in the County has not been impacted by the water main break, even if residents are experiencing low water pressure. Hospitals have emergency water supply systems, so area hospitals are not currently affected. HHS has set up a hotline at 240-777-4200 to address any health issues resulting from the water main break.
All Montgomery County Schools will close two-and-one-half hours early today. All daycare will remain open, except at schools with no water in the building. Daycare providers will contact parents directly if they are closed.
