Update on Water Main Break in Germantown; Nearby Schools to Close Early

Clopper Rd at Mateny Rd in Germantown is currently closed due to a broken water main. WSSC released the following statement around 10am, “We are working as quickly as possible to minimize the impact of the Clopper Rd water main break. We know this is frustrating. We have been evaluating options on this stretch of pipe since the last break. At this moment, the focus is to make repairs and restore service.”

Montgomery County Public Schools has announced that due to the water main break, Northwest and Seneca Valley High School will close today at 11:30 a.m. Clopper Mill Elementary Schools will be closing at 12:30 p.m. All school & after-school activities are canceled.

According to 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.
