Several areas in Fairlington are affected by the lack of water or by low water pressure. Arlington County is working in repairing of a 12" main water line. At this point, they do not have a time for the water to be fully restored.

Earlier: A large section of Fairlington has lost its water service.
The outage was first reported around 9:45 p.m. An initial report from Arlington’s Dept. of Environmental Services said the outage was the result of a water main break.
“Crews have been dispatched,” the agency said. “More information, including estimated completion time, will be available as soon as possible.”
Thousands live in the Fairlington neighborhood, which is divided by I-395 into north and south sections — both of which are without water, according to reports from residents.
@ARLnowDOTcom Big chunks of Fairlington (North as well as South) just lost water.
