Water Main Repairs Continue on Wisconsin Avenue

D.C. Water crews are one the scene of a leaking pipe at 1420 Wisconsin Ave.

D.C. Water crews continue their work on a leaking water main at 1420 Wisconsin Ave. The leak was Jan. 11. Traffic is limited to one lane in each direction as construction equipment and utility vans clog a small section of Wisconsin Avenue.

The problem is a leaking two-inch service line. The repairs only affect the individual service line connecting the former home of Commander Salamander to the main line; neighboring businesses should not experience any water outage.  

The repair is scheduled to be completed today, though permanent restoration at the site will occur later, according to D.C. Water  Coordinator of Construction Outreach Emanuel Briggs. Briggs said the agency has until Sunday, Feb. 27 to complete the restoration.
