Ed. Note: At some point every March DC Water announces “the Aqueduct switches disinfectants from chloramine back to chlorine to clean our water distribution system and improve water quality.”
“Dear PoPville,
Our block is currently under construction for the DC Lead pipe replacement initiative. Recently, our water has taken on a strong odor similar to chlorine or some other chemical.
In addition, our building utility closet that houses the shut-off valves has a distinctly louder sound as if the system is working overtime. When attempting to consult DC Water’s FAQs webpage for the initiative, the page cannot be found. I’m wondering if other blocks that have undergone work have experienced a difference in the quality of their water during the construction phase and/or increased audible sounds in their piping?”
