Residents who live east and west of Rock Creek Park bordered by the B & O Railroad, Connecticut Avenue and Tilden/Taylor Streets may experience a water shut-off or low water pressure sometimes during from 10 pm, Friday, March 5, 2004 to 10 pm, Saturday, March 6 when the DC Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) shuts down a section of a 48-inch water main at 30th and Military Road, N.W., to do an emergency repair on a leak in the line.
