Fluoride Levels Restored in WSSC Water Drinking Water

This week, WSSC Water restored the amount of fluoride added to drinking water supplied to its 1.9 million customers in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties to approximately 0.7 milligrams per liter (mg/L).

 

The levels were temporarily reduced on April 7, 2026, from 0.7 mg/L to 0.4 mg/L at our Potomac and Patuxent Water Filtration Plants due to nationwide supply chain challenges linked in part to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.  

Financial Assistance Is Here When You Need It

Since January 2023, WSSC Water has provided $32 million in financial assistance to more than 80,000 customers, helping make water and sewer bills more affordable for those who need support.


With numerous assistance programs available, there are multiple ways we can help, depending on a customer’s needs and eligibility.


If you’re having trouble paying your bill, don’t wait to explore your options. Help may be available.

September is Emergency Preparedness Month


We’re more than halfway through the month, how prepared are you?


Water main breaks, power outages and other unexpected events can temporarily interrupt your water service. Be ready by keeping at least one gallon of water per person, per day, for a minimum of three days as part of your emergency supply.


And don’t forget your pets, too.
