16-inch Water Main Break Repaired In Bethesda

BETHESDA, Md. (WJZ)—A 16-inch water main has been repaired at the intersection of Rockville Pike (Rt. 355) and Cedar Lane in Bethesda.

The 74-year-old pipe broke on Tuesday and left many without water.

Officials say paving crews will work thorough Wednesday's rush hour, keeping at least one lane open in both directions.

It is common for customers to experience discolored water following a water main break in their area. Officials say cold water taps should be run for five minutes to allow the discolored water to flush out.
