“Dear PoPville,
We tweeted DC water over a week ago about water bubbling near a pole in our neighborhood. They responded to a tweet and apparently sent a team. That team couldn’t “find” the pole after 3 tweets with an approximate address. Then we saw someone sent a 311 form. 2 weeks later that pole is still pushing out water. I can’t believe a pole pushing out water is good. Anyone have experience with DC Water that is actually positive!!!
10th and Emerson/South Dakota NE. Still running, just checked. A response from DC water via tweet says it’s been added to the list basically, but it’s still almost 2 weeks now.”
Ed. Note: I’ve had positive experiences with DC Water but will make sure they see this again.
Update from DC Water:
“Our crew went out there. It’s coming from a manhole and not coming from the pole. So we evaluate repairs based on four factors: Property Damage, Number of Residents Affected, Public Safety and Large Shut off/Small Leak.
If the leak is not causing property damage, impacting public safety nor causing a loss of service to residents, it’s considered a low priority. Unfortunately, in this particular situation we have not been able to get to the leak because new leaks pop up several times a day that will jump the line. The median age of our water pipes is 79 years old which means it’s really old. We are aware of the leak. It is job #15-378336 and we will repair it as soon as we can.”

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!
