Erin asked: “Ok DC, what is happening here?”
John replied:
“That asphalt patch indicates that line repairs were done. Either a new line or a new valve for improved water pressure. You’re looking at an old fire hydrant soon to be removed and a new, somewhat bashful one, soon to be connected. Think of new stop lights under burlap cover.”
DC Water replies:
“Good morning , thanks for the alert. Sending this over to the hydrant team for a fix. For an update please reach out to our command center 202-612-3400”
