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 has completed the first major step in emergency repairs to a 175-foot section of the Potomac Interceptor near Pennyfield Lock in Potomac, Maryland. Crews added a new, stronger lining inside the pipe after inspections found serious wear and damage. The work is part of ongoing repairs to 1,700 linear feet of pipe near Pennyfield Lock. Work began on Friday to apply geopolymer, a concrete-like material, inside the pipe. With the new lining complete, crews are preparing for the next phase of work for the remainder of the pipe segment.

DC Water Breaks Ground on Piney Branch Tunnel, Final Phase of DC Clean Rivers Project

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.
