ARLINGTON COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — Officials announced Sunday that residents in south Arlington can again use tap water, lifting the Boil Water Advisory that went into effect on Friday.

The advisory was implemented after a significant water main break happened at South Walter Reed Drive and South Four Mile Run Drive.

Though crews restored pressure within an hour and a half of the break, the county issued an advisory due to a drastic drop in water pressure.

Water samples were taken throughout the weekend and Arlington County officials said they confirmed that the water met all state and federal safety standards.

Customers are advised to run their taps for a few minutes to release air or sediment that accumulated following the break.

CIOs' concerns over generative AI echo those of the early days of cloud computing
When I attended the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium in May, it struck me that as I listened to CIOs talking about the latest technology — in this case generative AI — I was reminded of another time at the same symposium in around 2010 when the talk was all about the cloud. It was notable how similar the concerns over AI were to the ones that I heard about the fledgling cloud all those years ago: Companies were concerned about governance (check), security (check) and responsible use of a new technology (check). Today, CIOs recognize if they just say no to generative AI, employees are probably going to find a way to use these tools anyway.
