DC Water came back to finish the job of installing a copper pipe from the newly laid street pipes to our house, to replace what was an old galvanized, not lead, pipe. It was a huge project, and they had to tear up a lot of the street and sidewalk, but at least our house is done, although they’ll come back next week to repair the drywall around our water turn-off valve in the basement and move all the furniture back in place. We had to flush all our pipes this evening and have to drink filtered water for a while, but I’m happy the worst part is over, at least for us.
