JUST IN: “DC Water Issues Precautionary Boil Water Advisory for Upper Northwest Neighborhoods”

By Prince Of Petworth

From DC Water:

“The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) is issuing a Boil Water Advisory today for some customers in Northwest DC that experienced a loss of water pressure on Friday, June 5, 2026, impacting 4,970 customers.

This is a precautionary notice to customers in the impacted neighborhoods to boil water prior to ingesting, due to water of unknown quality in this localized area of the system. Do not drink the water without boiling it first. This advisory will remain in place until follow-up testing confirms the water is safe to drink.

DC Water advises customers to search their address on the interactive map at dcwater.com or call the 24-Hour Command Center at (202) 612-3400 to determine if they are in the impacted neighborhoods of this advisory. Customers in the impacted area should boil water used for drinking and cooking. Customers outside this area can continue normal water use. (more…)

From a press release:

“The Great Brookland Yard Sale returns on Saturday, June 6, 2026, transforming Brookland, a neighborhood in Northeast DC, into one giant neighborhood-wide treasure hunt featuring more than 150 participating homes.

From vintage finds and furniture to toys and baby goods, vinyl records, art, books, collectibles, and unexpected oddities, the annual event draws visitors from across the DMV to explore blocks of sales throughout the neighborhood.

But organizers say the event has become much more than a traditional yard sale.

“People tell us it’s their favorite day of the year,” said organizers from the Brookland Neighborhood Civic Association (BNCA), the sponsoring organization. “It’s part treasure hunt, part community festival, and part neighborhood adventure.”

I didn’t want to be creepy on the morning commute but wished I had said hi!”
