BETHESDA STORM UPDATE: SOME POWER RESTORED, WSSC LIFTS WATER RESTRICTIONS

Overnight, Pepco crews restored some power in downtown Bethesda, and in parts of the suburbs.

After one of my informants reported a Pepco convoy heading out River Road after 5 PM Sunday, residents of Wood Haven near Wilson Lane had power back around an hour later.  By mid-evening, power was restored to some businesses on St. Elmo Avenue, including Chef Tony's and Jiffy Shoppes.  Jiffy Shoppes will reopen today, and Chef Tony's plans to open at 5:00 PM for dinner until 10:00 PM, if all goes well.

Other neighborhoods remained dark, however.

Finally, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service Public Information Officer Scott Graham announced that the WSSC water restrictions have been cancelled overnight.
