WSSC to Replace Water Mains on Colesville Beginning in August
Beginning in August, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) will begin a two-year project to replace water mains under Colesville Road from the Beltway south to Georgia Avenue. The project will be completed in
two phases, with the first beginning at Georgia Avenue and moving north to Sligo Creek Parkway. Work on this phase needs to be finished by June of 2018, when Maryland State Highway will begin milling and resurfacing this section of Georgia. SHA's work will likely last to the end of 2018. Phase two of WSSC's project will proceed from Sligo Creek Parkway to The Beltway and likely run through Spring of 2019.
WSSC's work will involve dual lane closures (that may switch from northbound to southbound and back because of where they will need to work underground), as well as planned temporary water shut-offs (no more than 8-hour periods) to connect the new main at certain junctions. While this work will clearly be a painful inconvenience (to put it mildly), it has to be done. The alternative of allowing the aging infrastructure to break on its own could be even worse. The promising news is that WSSC staff who met with the Chamber's Economic Development Committee last week want to work with GSSCC and the community to alleviate as much as the pain as possible through proper planning and communication.
