Arlington County has lifted Boil Water Advisory issued on July 3.  

The advisory was issued out of an abundance of caution due to clarity issues found at the Washington Aqueduct, the County’s source for drinking water. Further investigation shows that water quality standards were never exceeded at any time.  

Unlike advisories issued as the result of large water main breaks, water use can resume immediately, and all tests show it is safe to drink and meets all federal and state standards. 

Arlington County appreciates the patience and understanding of its residents, businesses and their customers as staff followed procedures that place public health and safety as the highest priority.
