Clopper Rd Water Main Repair Update

Clopper Rd at Mateny Rd in Germantown is currently closed due to a broken water main. WSSC tweeted the following update around 3pm: “cautiously digging b/c high pressure gas main very close to our pipe. Once pipe is dug up we can assess damage & provide estimate on water restoration. Water station information to follow shortly. Appreciate your patience.”

There is a water station currently set up at the United Church of Christ at 13421 Clopper Rd. that will be open until 8pm. Students from nearby Northwest High School and Clopper Mill Elementary School were released early due to the break.

Per the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management: “Both directions of Clopper Rd (MD 117) are closed between Mateny Rd and Cinnamon Dr for emergency utility work. This closure will likely last several hours. Seek an alternate route.” Clopper Rd was last closed due to a water main break/sink hole back on November 15. We will post an update when more information becomes available.
