WSSC repairs downtown Bethesda water main break ahead of snowstorm


Water utility WSSC finally got around to addressing the water main break at the intersection of Arlington Road and Bethesda Avenue last night, as the area prepares for another shift in temperatures this weekend. The water main rupture first became apparent last Monday night, December 30, 2024. A WSSC crew got to it just in time last evening, as the plunging temperature threatened to turn the pooling water at the intersection into ice. Expect more water main breaks this weekend, as we go from the twenties back up to a high of 36 degrees on Sunday, prior to the snowstorm arriving Sunday night.

I will attest that, as a consequence of the WSSC operations, traffic in the area had reached Dantean depths of hellish chaos by early Saturday afternoon. The Self-Absorbed Brigade, in their Audis, Volvos, and starter-package Benzs, idled in the middle of intersections along Arlington Road, blocking traffic further until it reached near crosstown-rush-hour-in-NYC levels of stasis, so preoccupied were the offending drivers scrolling through their playlists, IMs, and emails.

Is it an Olympic (or Ozempic) sized ice rink yet?
