Dear Valued Customer,

We hope you and your families are safe. Severe weather can be stressful and we want you to worry about one less thing this week.

This week:

- We will not disconnect water service this week from Monday, October 29 to Friday, November 2. Disconnections of service will resume on Monday November 5.

- Our business offices are closed Monday, October 29 and will likely be closed Tuesday, October 30. If you are able to, and would like to make a payment, payments can still be made online at www.dcwater.com through a MyDC Water account or via the 24-hour IVR system by calling 202-354-3600 as long as the systems are intact.

- If you have an immediate water or sewer emergency, please call our 24-hour Command Center at 202-612-3400.

We hope these efforts can help ease some of your worries during and after Hurricane Sandy.
