From DC Water:
“DC Water Issues Precautionary Boil Water Advisory for Upper Northwest Neighborhoods
Impacted neighborhoods include areas of Chevy Chase DC, Friendship Heights, Tenleytown, AU Park, Spring Valley, Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, Van Ness, Glover Park, Wesley Heights, and Cathedral Heights
The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) issued a precautionary Boil Water Advisory today for some customers in Northwest D.C., due to a loss of water pressure, impacting 4,929 customers.
This is a precautionary notice to customers in the impacted area to boil water that may be ingested due to water of unknown quality in this localized area of the system. When water service is restored, customers should not drink the water without boiling it first. This advisory will remain in place until follow-up testing confirms the water is safe to drink.
DC Water advises customers to search their address on the interactive map at dcwater.com or call the 24-Hour Command Center at (202) 612-3400 to determine if they are in the impact area of this advisory. Customers in the impacted area should boil water used for drinking and cooking. Customers outside this area can continue normal water use.
Customers in the impact area should follow this guidance at this time: (more…)

These third-party energy companies also often charge more for energy than Pepco or Washington Gas. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Someone dropped a copy of Larry Csonka’s memoir in our Little Free Library last week. For those not well versed in 1970s NFL he’s a very important football person who played for Miami.
We have a Dolphins fan in our extended family, so we grabbed it to take a look, and it turns out it was signed by the author! But we can’t quite tell who it’s addressed to.
Then we found a card tucked inside the pages with a picture of (what we now know to be) the Florida state capitol….weird, but ok. Opened the card, and it was a birthday note from 2023 to then-Senator Marco Rubio. And now clearly see the inscription in the book says “To Marco Rubio.” (more…)
