WATER RESTORED IN GEORGETOWN AND ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS

November 16, 2004

DC Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) crews located two 12-inch valves that had inadvertently been turned off in the Georgetown area.

The closings caused a four-hour water outtage to an area bounded by Reservoir Road, R. St. N.W. and some parts of Connecticut Ave., N.W.

Water was cut off at a main during the night on 32d St., N.W. to assist a contractor with repair work. When the main was recharged with water, some areas began to experience low water pressure or no water.

Water is now fully restored to the area.
