Rockville:

Where does my water come from?
Our primary source of water is the Potomac River. When Rockville’s water plant is not operating because of necessary improvements or maintenance activities, or in cases of regional drought, Rockville purchases water from the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC). In 2023, Rockville purchased about 6.54 million gallons of water (approximately 0.39% of our annual production) from WSSC, which also receives its water from the Potomac River.

So it sounds like City of Rockville payers are not affected. Thanks. We were very confused.

It’s not getting any warmer soon, and in fact is going to get colder. How long are you all going to not shower? WSSC is terrible and has let a water main break in silver spring fester for the last month.

Reading this now in the bath. Sorry! I had no idea.

Recently I went for a week without showering because the water heater broke and I had to wait on the replacement.

I survived.

+1 we have a spring on our road. This is after they spent 24 hrs a couple of weeks ago repairing another break 200 feet away.

Yes. You ATA in this case. You don’t “need” a shower.

+1.

Furthermore, the water is needed right now to fight these terrible fires.

I don’t think our water is fighting CA fires?

I mean, would not not shower just because some people on the internet told you not to?

Do what you think is right, OP. You have a brain.

I hope you’re joking. You realize our water doesn’t help California at all.

And it’s not about the water, it’s about the pipes.

Yea it’s county wide. They’re worried more pipes are going to burst and we’ll all have to go on a boil water advisory

I’d be frantically doing all the laundry and dishes and showering to prepare for the worst. We could go two weeks without laundry faculties if I had just done it all.

Your comment should be used as an exemplar when trying to teach the tragedy of the commons to economics students…

I don’t trust others to act with the common good in mind. Such is the reality we live in. I have to behave as though it’s all going to hell anyway.

And that exactly is why it’s called the tragedy of the commons. When everyone takes more of a “free” resource it disappears.

Well YOU have never lived through a California drought like I have in California.

OP is being the AH if she showers.

Well according to multiple DCUM posts you absolutely do need one if not 2-3 daily.
