What to Do After a Water Main BreakAfter a large water main break, it’s important to take the following precautions:
• Run Cold Water – Flush your taps by running cold water for 5–10 minutes to remove any sediment.
• Avoid Hot Water Use Initially – Do not use hot water until cold water runs clear to avoid pulling sediment into your water heater.
• Clean Aerators – Remove and rinse faucet aerators/screens to clear any debris.
• Check for Discoloration – If water is discolored, continue flushing. If it doesn’t clear, contact the number below.
DPW continues to monitor the system to ensure water quality. For questions or concerns, Baltimore County residents can call 443-263-2220.
