You are thinking of marines.


Yeah. The Navy loves taking showers. They see it as a buddy exercise so they can take turns soaping each others backs.

Wssc or whatever they are called now


https://www.wsscwater.com/news/2026/january/urgent-essential-water-use-only-request-issued-all-wssc-water-customers-due

WSSC Water is urging all 1.9 million customers in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties to only use water for essential purposes effective immediately. At this time, water is safe and there is no need to boil before essential use.

The urgent essential-water-use-only request is being issued due to the predicted increase in the number of water main breaks and leaks brought on by the frigid temperatures, including break locations that have not yet been identified...

Adhering to the following guidance could avoid a Boil Water Advisory and help preserve water for system storage and fire protection as crews work to repair breaks/leaks across a 1,000-square-mile service area.

Until further notice, all customers are being urged to:

  • Use water only as necessary – i.e., take shorter showers and quickly turn off faucets from running at full force.
    Limit flushing toilets (do not flush after every use).
    Limit using washing machines and dishwashers.


  • Because of the extreme cold and the possibility of pipes freezing inside customers’ homes, WSSC Water continues to advise customers to leave a faucet running on a trickle when they are home to keep water moving through the pipes. The amount of water used to keep water flowing at a trickle through pipes will have minimal impact on demand and may save customers from costly repairs caused by frozen or broken pipes in their homes. It is also advisable to open cabinet doors to expose pipes to your home’s warmth.

    Customers are also urged to immediately report any water surfacing or flowing down streets, sidewalks or rights of way. Identifying and repairing hidden breaks as quickly as possible is critical to maintaining reliable water service to customers.
