“Immediately after receiving these test results, the GSA notified building occupants, shut off the affected water outlets, and restricted access to the outlets,” the agency said in a statement. “In addition, the GSA is continuing to flush water through these points while developing a full building water flushing and sampling testing plan.”

Additional testing is being conducted on the elevated test points, the GSA added.
