DC Water turned the water off at the source, while Metro workers worked to pump water off of the tracks. The commuter rail system’s Silver, Orange and Blue lines was impacted by the water main break.

Within about two hours of the service suspension, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority was working to restore service on all three lines.
