ACTUALIZACIÓN DEL AVISO DE AGUA POTABLE - Aviso de ebullición de agua de DC Water Lifts para todos los clientes afectados: vigente a las 7:30 a. m. del 4 de julio de 2024

July 04, 2024

Todos los clientes de DC Water bajo el aviso preventivo de hervir el agua pueden usar agua del grifo para todos los fines después de que se confirmó que el agua potable proporcionada por el Acueducto de Washington nunca se desvió de los estándares de calidad del agua establecidos por la EPA de EE. UU. como se había anticipado.

Siguiendo el consejo del Acueducto de Washington, DC Water emitió el aviso preventivo de hervir el agua como medida conservadora para proteger la salud pública, y apreciamos sinceramente la paciencia de nuestros clientes mientras tomamos las precauciones necesarias para garantizar la seguridad del agua del grifo que entregamos.  

El aviso afectó a todos los clientes del Distrito de Columbia, así como al Pentágono, el Cementerio Nacional de Arlington y el Aeropuerto Nacional Reagan. Los clientes del condado de Arlington también se vieron afectados.

Comparta esta información con todas las demás personas que beben esta agua, especialmente aquellas que quizás no hayan recibido este aviso directamente (por ejemplo, personas en apartamentos, hogares de ancianos, escuelas y negocios). Puede hacerlo publicando este aviso público en un lugar público o distribuyendo copias a mano o por correo.  

DC Water trabajará con los clientes para responder preguntas y responder a problemas adicionales luego del Aviso sobre hervir agua. Las preguntas pueden dirigirse al Servicio al cliente de DC Water al 202-354-3600 (de lunes a viernes, de 8:00 a. m. a 5:00 p. m.) o al Centro de comando de 24 horas al 202-612-3400. La información también está disponible en www.dcwater.com y las preguntas frecuentes bilingües se encuentran en www.dcwater.com/boilwaterFAQ.

DC Water Officials with NPS and ANC commissioners doing ceremonial groundbreaking

Today, DC Water broke ground on the Piney Branch Tunnel, the final major tunnel in our Clean Rivers Project. This work will help keep sewage and trash out of local waterways and make Rock Creek, the Potomac River, and the Chesapeake Bay cleaner for our community.

When we finish the Piney Branch Tunnel, it will hold at least 4.2 million gallons of rainwater and wastewater during heavy storms. Instead of overflowing into Piney Branch, that water will go to the Blue Plains Water Resource Recovery Facility, where it will be treated.
