Attention: Water Main Breaks in Alexandria

Fairfax Water is experiencing multiple water main breaks along Telegraph Road. The main break at the intersection of Telegraph Road and Florence Lane has been repaired and water service has been restored to customers in that area. Telegraph Road has been reopened in both directions between Wilton Road and Franconia Road.

Fairfax Water crews are working on three additional main breaks along Telegraph Road and will repair them as quickly as possible. As a result of these breaks, some homes in nearby areas are without water service.

We will continue to provide updates here until remaining breaks are repaired. If you have any questions or have a critical medical need for water, please call 703-698-5613, TTY 711. For more information about water main breaks and what to do when your service is restored, please click here.
