From DC Water:

“DC Water is warning customers that scammers claiming to represent the utility may be calling and asking for credit card or bank account information. DC Water has received a few reports from customers who stated they received a call that appeared to be from a DC Water number, demanding payment for continued water service. However, DC Water did not make the calls.

Customers should be aware of the following information:

While DC Water does accept payments over the phone and the internet, we never make calls asking for any financial information.

If you want to pay your bill over the internet or over the phone, please only do so when you initiate the transaction.

If you get a call or email asking for bank information it is probably a scam, so hang up and please call (202) 354-3600 to report it to DC Water.

DC Water may contact customers with past due balances to make payment or payment arrangements; however, we will never ask for personal payment information over the phone.

DC Water offers multiple ways for customers to pay their bills, including in-person at Western Union locations, by mail, by phone (202-354-3600), or online at mydcwater.com. For more information visit dcwater.com/paying-your-bill.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
