Thanks to Jessica for sending from the Eaton hotel. Can we get a translation please? Does it just say Eaton in Arabic?

“I submitted paperwork back in mid-October but it seems to have gone into a black hole.”

“Dear PoPville,

I was wondering whether anyone has had success applying for DC Water’s LPRAP – Lead Pipe Replacement Assistance Program – which went into effect in October?  I submitted paperwork back in mid-October but it seems to have gone into a black hole.  If folks have had their application successfully submitted can they provide the name of the contractor they used and how much the whole project cost?  The name of the contractor is particularly useful because the process does require a certain amount of paperwork on their end as well, which is not something every contractor is willing to do.”
