Water valve leak in North Arlington impacts 100 customers, detours traffic

Crews are working to repair a 15-inch water valve leak in the Rock Spring neighborhood that has impacted around 100 customers.

A traffic detour is currently in place around the intersection of Old Dominion Drive and Little Falls Road, and water is expected to be restored “in the next couple of hours,” Katie O’Brien, a spokesperson for Arlington’s Department of Environmental Services (DES), told ARLnow.

A tipster notified ARLnow of the break around 3:15 p.m. In a social media post, DES estimated that repairs would be completed around 8 p.m.
