1.9 million WSSC customers asked to conserve water after plant outage
Original: wssc
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission has asked its roughly 1.9 million customers in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC to conserve water after a power outage knocked out a water filtration plant. Local outlet WJLA reported the request, which affects households and businesses in Prince George's and Montgomery counties. Officials have not detailed in the available reporting how long restrictions may last or when full capacity will be restored.
Why now: A power failure at a water filtration plant has prompted a conservation order affecting nearly two million people.
