Water main break on 1500 block of Spring Place NW

“We have a water main break at the 1500 block of Spring Place NW. Residents notified WASA’s emergency line at 8 PM on December 30 and have been without water since 9 PM on December 30. WASA began digging up the street at 8 AM, December 31.
It is a sewer and main line break, “very bad” in WASA’s words.”
From WASA:
“So right now, we have both a water main and sewer break. Spring Place between 16th and Perry is shut down in order to facilitate repairs. Our Water Services Foreman said that crews are working hard to restore water today.”
