Unnamed Administration sources reported that Sean Donelan said:



Washington DC power company PEPCO had more underground
fires at 17th and M streets NW.  This has affected
some circuits out of carriers with facilities on
1200 block of L street.

Note that PEPCO has just started a major rebuild of the much
damned system in Georgetown. It's supposed to take teraseconds to
complete since the local merchants:

        Don't want any outages

        Don't want any street construction 
        during the business day

        Don't want any noise or dirt...
