Don't Drink the Water:
DC Warns Thousands of Contamination Risk
The advisory sparked fear and confusion among some city residents, who asked why they learned of the problem on social media and from news reports rather than from DC Water or the city government.
WHAT TO KNOW
The tap water in a major portion of D.C. should be boiled before anyone drinks it, because of a contamination risk, DC Water said Friday.
The "boil water advisory" was issued as a precaution. Officials say there is no information indicating that any water was contaminated.
Some D.C. residents say DC Water and city officials did not sufficiently notify them of the problem.
If you live in D.C., you may have to boil your water.
DC Water is advising tens of thousands of residents and businesses in a major portion of the city not to drink or cook with tap water without boiling it because of a contamination risk.
