Last night, after a thrilling double-header with my boyfriend’s corporate softball team (there were injuries and an almost-bench-clearing brawl), we came home to find our water pressure very low. Turns out there was a big water main break right at the intersection of 18th, Florida, and U.
At around 5:45 pm I walked past the intersection and saw lots of police and construction crews, plus U St. between 17th and 18th was closed off. Now I know why!
Here’s what they said about it on Fox DC.
Does it seem to anyone else like water main breaks are becoming a daily occurrence? I wonder if it’s something that happens frequently in the summer, or if this city’s aging infrastructure is finally giving way. Whatever it is, I was happy to be able to shower this morning and I hope it doesn’t happen again soon in our neck of the jungle.
