DC Water crews are onsite at Anacostia Ave and Ponds St, NE to repair a section of sewer main that collapsed and caused a sinkhole. The repair site is located away from roads, sidewalks and buildings, so there are no closures to report. DC Water is asking residents and passers by to stay clear of the repair site. So far, a 20-foot section of the Anacostia Force Main has been excavated and will be reinforced. The repair is expected to take until at least July 20. 

For more information, please contact the Office of External Affairs at 202-787-2200 during the day. After hours, please call our 24-hr Emergency Command Center at 202-612-3400.
