Laurel, Md. – July 11, 2022 – WSSC Water quickly responded to and stopped an on-property facility spill of partially treated wastewater at its Piscataway Water Resource Recovery Facility on Farmington Road in Accokeek. The total volume of the spill was approximately 50,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater that was contained to the facility grounds.

The on-property spill, caused by a leaking pipe, started at approximately 7:45 a.m. today and ended at about 8:26 a.m. when facility crews closed a valve which stopped the spill.

It is important to note that the water and wastewater systems are separate. This on-property spill is NOT affecting WSSC Water’s drinking water.

Appropriate notifications have also been made to the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Prince George’s County Health Department. Lime was spread on the impacted area and signs were posted in the area.
