Breaking News: Unless You’re Looking to Spend a Few Days In Bed, Avoid the Water in NW DC

This is always a good way to start off a Tuesday: [WaPo Breaking News]

Officials at the District’s Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) are advising customers in certain Northwest neighborhoods not to use water until further notice due to a higher-than-normal chlorine concentration.

The boundaries of the area are:

West Boundary: MacArthur Boulevard NW
North Boundary: Western Avenue and Eastern Avenue NW
East Boundary: Amtrak railroad
South Boundary (east side of Rock Creek): Upshur Street NW
South Boundary (west side of Rock Creek): Calvert Street to Observatory Circle to W Street

Customers who used water with excess chlorine may have noticed taste and odor problems – which quite frankly has been a problem for well over 30 years.
