DC water confirmed safe to drink after precautionary boil water advisory

Water in Washington, D.C., has been confirmed safe to drink Thursday after the district faced a boil water advisory a day before.

“All DC Water customers under the precautionary boil water advisory can use tap water for all purposes after it was confirmed that drinking water provided by the Washington Aqueduct never deviated from U.S. EPA established water quality standards as had been anticipated,” the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) said in a release Thursday.
