Local notes on your water utility, common problems and rebates, plus what we can help with.
Silver Spring is in Montgomery County, where WSSC Water provides water and sewer service. Its neighborhoods mix older homes near the DC line with newer construction farther out, so the age and the materials of the plumbing vary from street to street.
We repair and replace drains and sewer lines, water lines, water heaters and fixtures for Silver Spring homeowners, and we can help you understand what WSSC's pipe-type program means for you.
What to know in Silver Spring
- What's Your Pipe Type?
- WSSC is verifying service line materials across its service area and replacing lead lines it owns. Check your address on its inventory map and complete the survey. The goal is to finish all lead line replacements by 2037.
- Notify WSSC before you replace your side
- WSSC's customer-side assistance is still in development. If you replace your portion privately, tell WSSC first, because reimbursement is not guaranteed.

- The research we reviewed lists a free customer-side inspection through WSSC's lead program at 301-206-7200. Confirm it is still offered when you call.
