There appears to be a water main break at the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Woodmont Avenue in downtown Bethesda. It has been bubbling up for about a week, and there is enough standing water to create a splash when cars drive through it. As of this writing, water utility WSSC has not yet sent a crew to repair it. Be on the lookout if you are driving or walking in that area.

Water main break on Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda
There appears to be a water main break at the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Woodmont Avenue in downtown Bethesda.

FYI It happened two weeks ago. It has been called in to WSSC last week. They have been out several times to assess the situation.
ReplyDeleteI live in one of the buildings on the block and we’ve been told WSSC thinks it’s a leaking or broken underground pipe. But then why just let it sit there and not dig it up?
