From a press release:

“The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) advises customers to boil their water for cooking and drinking if they are experiencing low water pressure, especially in areas West and Southwest of Rock Creek Park (see the updated map at link in press release). If customers do not have water service, they are advised to boil water when service is restored. If customers are not experiencing low water pressure and do not live in the affected area, customers do not need to boil their water.

On March 5, the Ft. Reno Pumping Station experienced a power outage that was isolated to the DC Water system. Due to a loss of pressure, affected customers are advised to boil their water until further notice. To minimize risk, customers should follow the instructions outlined in this advisory

Customers should:
– Bring water to a rolling boil for 1 minute.
– Allow water to cool before using.
– Store cooled water in a clean container with a cover.

Customers should use cooled, boiled water or bottled water for:
– Drinking
– Brushing teeth
– Preparing and cooking food
– Making ice
– Giving water to pets
– Preparing formula for infants
