Welcome to the Carderock Springs Citizens' Association, a neighborhood group in Bethesda, Maryland. We are NOT the Swim & Tennis Club(clubhouse, pools, tennis courts). Membership in one does not include membership in the other.
The Citizens’ Association and it’s Board have important roles in keeping and moving us toward a community life that we all value. The new Citizens’ Assoc Board will meet in May to talk about its identity & role in the community. We hope to create some clear guidelines and goals for our coming year. Whatever we decide in particular, I can assure you that we are united in these ways:
To listen to your concerns;
To respond in ways that fall under our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws;
And to do what we can to re-establish a trust that both the Association and the Board are important entities of our community.
Annual Citizens' Association Election meeting results (Sunday April 25, 2010)

Three Pepco representatives gave an informative presentation and outage analysis. Underground electric lines in Carderock are fed by 2 above ground feeder lines coming in from River Road and from Persimmon Tree. During a storm, one may be operational when the other is not, hence one half of the neighborhood may have power while the other half does not. If/when you have no electricity, everyone should call Pepco 1-877-737-2662 to report your outage - otherwise Pepco may not know. Pepco is in the process of installing Smart technology which will help them identify exactly where the source of the outage problem is.
If you missed the annual Citizens' Association meeting in October, here's the traffic presentation with options for slowing cars (you may need PowerPoint software to display it and/or you may need to 'Right Click' then 'Advance' to view it). Some ideas are as inexpensive as paint on pavement.
