On again, and off again. Reports have been conflicting over the status of water restriction in the City of Rockville after a 24-inch main break. Since Wednesday, a limit has been placed on lawn watering, toilet flushing and car washing — basically every domestic weekend activity. A second break was found on Friday, delaying the alleviation of restrictions until today.

Now, over 13,000 homes can have their fun with slip ‘n slides, opened fire hydrants and other necessities, like showers. Although no residents completely lost access to water, many took precautions to limit their water use.
