AVISO DE AGUA POTABLE DC Water levanta Aviso de hervir agua para clientes afectados en el noreste de DC

December 06, 2024

Aviso levantado a las 6:00 am del 6 de diciembre de 2024  

Todos los clientes de DC Water en el área afectada bajo el aviso de hervir agua pueden usar agua de la llave para todos los fines después de seguir las instrucciones que se proporcionan a continuación.

El Aviso de hervir agua se emitió el martes 3 de diciembre como medida preventiva para proteger la salud pública, debido a una baja o nula presión de agua en la zona afectada. Agradecemos sinceramente la paciencia de nuestros clientes mientras tomamos las medidas necesarias para garantizar la seguridad del agua potable que distribuimos.

DC Water levantó la advertencia de hervir el agua después de que las pruebas confirmaron que el agua potable cumple con todos los estándares de calidad y seguridad. DC Water verificó que no se introdujeron organismos patógenos por la pérdida de presión en algunas partes del sistema de distribución.

El aviso afectó a aproximadamente 2,787 clientes en la parte superior del noreste de DC, al este del río Anacostia, incluidos los vecindarios de River Terrace, Mayfair, Eastland Gardens, Kenilworth, Deanwood, Central Northeast y Anacostia Park.

Precauciones antes de volver al uso normal del agua:

· Abra las llaves de agua fría durante 10 minutos (si el agua no se utilizo durante el avisó).

· Deseche alimentos, bebidas o hielo preparados con agua que no haya sido hervida durante el aviso. 

Por favor, comparta esta informatión con todas las personas que consuman esta agua, especialmente aquellas que quizás no hayan recibido el aviso derectamente (por ejemplo, residents en apartamentos, hogares de ancianos, escuelas y Negocios). Puede hacerlo publicando este aviso en un lugar visible o distribuyendo copias a mano o por correo.

Los clientes que tengan preguntas pueden comunicarse con el Servicio al cliente de DC Water al (202) 354-3600 (de lunes a viernes, de 8 a. m. a 5 p. m.) o al Centro de comando de 24 horas al 202-612-3400.

Public Encouraged to Provide Comment through June 23

DC residents who want to replace their lead service lines may soon have more options to do it sooner—without having to wait for construction to reach their block.  While the Lead Free DC Program replaces lead service lines at no cost, DC Water has proposed two updates to its program that would make it easier and faster for some residents to get their lead pipes replaced, especially those at higher risk of lead exposure. These proposed changes have been published in the DC Register and are now open for public review. 

Graphic with details for the public hearing on June 23 at 6:30 p.m.

As DC Water’s Board of Directors considers proposed rate increases for the upcoming 2027 and 2028 fiscal years, we’re asking customers to provide feedback during a public hearing on Tuesday, June 23 at 6:30 p.m.

The proposed rate changes would support critical investments in safe, reliable drinking water, replacement of aging water and sewer lines, cleaner local waterways, and continued lead service line replacement across the District.
