Unrest in Kosovo: After two Albanian children are found drowned in the Ibar river in Kosovo and Metohia, with a third still missing, riots erupt in the town of Kosovska Mitrovica and later spread to the entire province. Mitrovica Serbs are blamed by Albanian media for forcing the children into the river, but this is later denied by United Nations officials. At least 22 people are killed by the end of the day with hundreds injured in clashes between Serbs and Albanians; enclaves of Kosovo Serbs elsewhere in the province experience attacks by Kosovo Albanians as well as offices of UN officials which were abandoned. In reaction to the violence in Kosovo, demonstrators in Serbia march in Belgrade and set ablaze mosques in Belgrade and Nish. (B92)(B92) (SwissInfo) (NYT) (BBC) (CNN) (B92) (RTS, in Serbian)

On March 16, the District’s Mayor requested that DCWASA utilize mail (or equivalent) methods to distribute the remaining devices to homes believed to be served by lead service lines, and DCWASA is committed to timely implementation of this new program.
During 2004 DCWASA intends to supplement the brochure "Living Lead Free in DC" with a new publication that explains the current lead level situation in DC.
The objective is to sample and test for lead in the drinking water at sixteen apartment buildings focusing on outlets that serve the high-risk population (pregnant/nursing women and children under the age of six).
