Water Restored to Ft. Lincoln Area

September 10, 2004

A water shut-off for maintenance and repair work in the Bladensburg and Eastern Avenue area of Northeast Washington left some residents in the Fort Lincoln area without water for several hours this evening.

DC WASA crews experienced difficulty getting valves reopened after the work, causing a cessation of water around 7:30 p.m. and affecting residents in the 2800 block of 31st St. , parts of Apple Road, Ft. Lincoln Drive and a stretch along South Dakota Avenue, Northeast.

Water was restored by 9:30 p.m. A few customers may have low and/ or slow flow until the water pressure returns to normal, but service is now fully restored.
