Update from Pepco:

“Pepco sent an underground crew to investigate and determined the voltage was from a DC owned traffic signal post. Pepco crews worked to make the area safe and will be standing by until DDOT can respond to the scene.

We encourage customers to contact Pepco if they see down wires or damaged equipment at 1-877-Pepco-62.”

“Dear PoPville,

Dog owners- electricity risk on Capitol Hill.

My dog just got an electric shock from a manhole cover on Pennsylvania and 9th st se, the corner by the naval hospital.

Please look out for this and other spots”
