Boil water advisory issued for all of DC, Arlington County

D.C. and Arlington County, Virginia, issued a boil water advisory late Wednesday night that essentially affects the entirety of both jurisdictions.

D.C. Water said that all tap water was affected by the precautionary boil water advisory after 9 p.m. Wednesday, and customers should get rid of any beverages or ice made since then.

“This advisory will remain in place until follow-up testing confirms the water is safe to drink,” D.C. Water said, and the same message applies to those in Arlington.
