Greenbelt's 5 Things: Water Restrictions, Heat Wave Continues

It's going to be a rough few days for residents in parts of the county where a mandatory water restriction is in place while WSSC repairs a faulty water pipe, and although Greenbelt is not directly impacted by the situation, residents are buying up water at local stores—so there may not be as much bottled water on the shelves. 

Here's some more things you might need to know today:

1. WEATHER » The sun will be out in full force today with highs in the mid-90s. Heat index will hit 101 but there will be a northwest wind moving between 3 and 7 miles per hour. Evening temperatures and humidity will be in the 70s and a 5 mph wind will come through until midnight. Take a look at the week ahead here.
