DC residents asked to boil water, after Thursday water service issues

WASHINGTON - UPDATE: Some residents of DC are being asked to boil their water, after officials said several D.C. residents reported having trouble with their water service Thursday night.

DC Water spokesperson Vincent Morris said they received reports of a drop in water pressure affecting customers in the Foxhall and Brookland neighborhoods.

"DC Water crews/contractors are currently investigating a possible water emergency affecting several neighborhoods in Northwest and Northeast Washington, DC," DC Water said on its website. "Many customers in the area are experiencing low to no water pressure. We will provide more information as it becomes available."

According to Morris, DC Water has corrected the problem and customers should see their water pressure return to normal.

DC Water said the problem was caused due to an issue at its Bryant Street pumping station.
