☀️ Summer is here… which means water usage is about to spike.

As temperatures rise, so does the demand on local water systems. From watering lawns to filling pools and longer showers after days outside, summer is one of the busiest times of year for water usage.

A few simple habits can help conserve water while still keeping your yard and home summer-ready:
• Water early in the morning or later in the evening
• Avoid overwatering lawns
• Check for leaks or running hoses

Small changes can make a big difference throughout the season!

Today, we recognize and reflect on Juneteenth.

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and honors the resilience, history, and contributions of Black Americans throughout generations.

As we continue serving diverse communities throughout our region, we recognize the importance of remembrance, reflection, and progress.

Do you know where your water comes from before it reaches your tap?

MPWC primarily pumps groundwater from wells connected to the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer system, then treats and monitors that water before it’s delivered throughout our service area.

Most people never think about the journey water takes before reaching their home, but there’s an entire system working behind the scenes every day to deliver safe, reliable water to our community.

⏪ Before it was known as Route 130, it was originally called Route 25.

Back in the 1920s, MPWC crews were already working along this roadway, laying water mains throughout parts of our service area as the surrounding communities continued to grow.

A lot has changed over the last century, but many of the systems supporting our communities today trace back to infrastructure projects that began decades ago.

As we celebrate 100 years of service, it’s incredible to look back at the history beneath the roads we travel every day.

What does it actually take to keep water flowing 24/7?

Behind the scenes, MPWC crews are constantly monitoring systems, inspecting infrastructure, responding to emergencies, testing water quality, repairing mains, maintaining hydrants, and preparing for the unexpected.

Some days involve planned maintenance. Other days involve responding to leaks or emergency calls at a moment’s notice.

It’s work most people never see, but it’s happening every day to help keep safe, reliable water flowing throughout our community.

💧 Did You Know? If you have a leaking shut-off valve or interior plumbing issue, repairs within your property are typically the customer’s responsibility.

Main shut-off valves play an important role in controlling water flow into your home and can help prevent larger plumbing issues if maintained properly.

Not sure where your shut-off valve is located? It’s a good idea to identify it before an emergency happens.
