Rushern Baker: "Fill Up Your Tubs"

"We are going to run out of water pretty fast."

With imminent water shortages set to affect thousands of county residents over the next week, Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker III had one simple message for the Public: Fill up your tubs.

"We want people to fill up their tubs and available containers with water tonight," said Baker during a press conference at the Prince George's County Emergency Operations Center in Landover Hills on Tuesday afternoon. "People need to fill up with water tonight...come tomorrow morning, when everybody wakes up and takes a shower, we are going to run out of water pretty fast."
