UPDATE: D.C. Water spokesperson Alan Heymann tells DCist that there was no water main break in the area, nor did the D.C. Water crew which was performing the scheduled maintenance hit a power line, as the Post originally reported. The cause of the outage is still unknown. We’ve updated this post to reflect this information. Heads up to those who live on the hill separating Columbia Heights from Shaw: about 600 people are without power in the area. The Post reports that about the area has been without power since early this afternoon. Pepco hopes to be able to restore the electricity by 6 p.m. this evening.
