Water main break - Georgetown? Foggy Bottom?

[bertha katzenengel]

Our building at 26th & M NW is officially closed. No water, no A/C. I'm leaving in a few minutes.

I can find no news about this, though. Not on WTOP, not on nbc4.com. Anyone else heard about it? Or affected by it?

1. No water yesterday in Dupont Circle.

Office closed. No water.

The boss' house in G'town was also affected.

Back on today, though.

3. Bloody hell. You know what "DC" really stands for, don't you?

Dysfunctional City. :eyes:

Thanks, D.T.

2. I heard a bazillion fire trucks barreling through Chevy Chase

I'm not sure if it's related.

8. Wore my Senators cap and Mookie Mets shirt to the game...

last night.

The Senators cap with the leather liner and green under the bill got me some dap at the park!

10. I'll bet it did, man! Wow!

Would've loved to have seen that. Maybe I'll spot you at a game this year. :hi:

4. sounds like the opening scene of a political thriller

who knows, maybe it is??

7. LOL! Oh, honey, this is nothing. Four years ago, manhole covers started

exploding all through Georgetown like popcorn. The electrical lines run through the sewers. I guess it was successive breaks in the lines combined with methane . . . ? I don't really know what happened, except that there was no electricity here for 5-6 days. It was nice to get a surprise paid vacation, but a lot of people suffered for lack of electricity and a few died.

There's the opening of a political thriller!

6. No Water in Beltsville Yesterday

Maybe it's a pattern.

And all is well here!

11. Best I can tell

nothing unusual is going on in the city.

12. funny things happen

when you have a 100 year old system, built on the cheap, that no one has bothered to spend money for maintenance one. Stuff breaks. Bring on the billion dollar tunnels for overflow!

13. On the 4th

There was a break at Reservoir and Foxhall, and they were fixing it until yesterday. (All was clear this morning.) But that's pretty far from Foggy Bottom.
