The Front Royal Department of Environmental Services will have a 100-foot section of the westbound lane of Criser Rd (by Joe’s Steakhouse) closed on Tuesday, August 9, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for water and sewer line maintenance. Please expect some delays and plan your travel accordingly and watch for flagmen directing traffic.

Due to the work, water will be off periodically throughout the day in the area of W. Criser Rd from Royal Ave to Parkview Dr. The water outage could cause some temporary discoloration of the drinking water; however the water is safe to drink. To clear the water, a cold tap should be turned on and allowed to run until it clears. The water should also be checked for discoloration before running it into the washing machine.

If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Environmental Services at 540-636-6338.
