Wrapping Up Hydrant Flushing in Whitehall & Rockledge

The annual hydrant flushing in Bowie is set to end this week. This essential maintenance ensures the water system remains clean and functions efficiently. Residents where flushing takes place may notice a temporary discoloration of water or lower water pressure during the flushing process, which typically occurs between 9 AM and 3 PM. Residences are advised to let taps run for a few minutes to clear any discoloration. While the process is brief, it's crucial for maintaining water quality and fire safety standards throughout the community.

PGCPS Schools are Closed on Tuesday, May 14, 2024

On May 14, 2024, schools in Prince George's County will be closed to accommodate the primary elections. This decision reflects the county's commitment to ensuring a smooth and accessible voting process, as many schools are utilized as polling stations. The closure provides ample space and necessary facilities for residents to cast their votes, highlighting the importance of civic participation. Parents are advised to plan accordingly for their childcare needs, as regular school activities will resume the following day. This day off also serves as an opportunity for students to learn about the democratic process and the significance of voting in shaping their communities.

Tomorrow we will have some fun no school ideas for kids on the day off.
