DC WASA has lifted the precautionary boil water advisory that it issued on Monday, December 7 after the Shepherd Park neighborhood lost water pressure that day. Authorities say they conducted comprehensive testing of the water system during the past 48 hours and have confirmed the water is now safe to drink. Boiling tap water or consuming bottled water is no longer necessary, they said. However, as an added precaution, WASA recommends discarding any food or ice that was prepared with water that was not boiled between 11 a.m. Monday, December 7 and today, December 9 at 3:30 p.m. In addition, any faucets or taps that have not been used during the water advisory should be flushed for 10 minutes.
