Just when they thought they could raise their toasting glasses to their Money Magazine designation as one of the top 100 places to live in the US, Rockville gets hit again...with another water main break. This one just a block from the last one.
The good news? No water restrictions. Yet. Here's the release from city officials....
Rockville Crews Work to Repair Water Main Break
Water Restrictions Have Not Been Issued
ROCKVILLE, Md., July 12, 2010 -City of Rockville Department of Public Works Crews are working to repair a water main pipe that broke about 4 p.m. Monday, July 12, in the 10800 block of South Glen Road.
