Imagine turning on your faucet and having no water to drink, cook, shower or flush your toilet. It's something most of us take for granted, but the recent power outage at our Potomac Water Filtration Plant served as a powerful reminder of the importance of preparing for unexpected water service interruptions.
Yesterday, in recognition of Imagine a Day Without Water, WSSC Water joined Maryland Secretary of the Environment Serena McIlwain, Maryland Secretary of Emergency Management Russell Strickland, county emergency management officials and county fire departments to deliver an important message: Don't just imagine a day without water. Be prepared for it.
Store at least one gallon of water per person per day for a minimum of three days. And don't forget your pets!
With winter approaching, preparedness is especially important as colder temperatures bring an increase in water main breaks that can cause unexpected service interruptions.
