A reader shares the correspondence trying to get this flow of water addressed:
From DC Water:
“So as I understand it, an inspector went to the site and believes that the leak is coming from the building, so he could not access it. He thinks the building may not be occupied. Does that sound right?”
OP shares developer address/info and:
