A recent study suggests that managing underground water pressure through civil engineering techniques like pumping and drainage could prevent eruptions at Italy’s Campi Flegrei volcano, which is influenced by rainfall and seismic activity, and climate change may accelerate these processes, highlighting a potential shift towards proactive volcano risk management.
Thousands of D.C. residents are under a boil water advisory due to a drop in water pressure that may have allowed contaminants into the system. Affected areas include River Terrace, Mayfair, and others, with D.C. Water working to reroute and restore pressure. The advisory will remain until tests confirm water safety, expected by December 5 at the earliest. Residents are advised to boil water for drinking and cooking, and to discard any beverages made after the advisory was issued.
Fierce storms in the St. Louis area resulted in two fatalities, widespread power outages affecting over 89,000 customers, low water pressure, and flooded roads.

The boil water advisory that was issued for parts of upper West Philadelphia has been lifted after all samples tested by the water department showed no evidence of harmful bacteria. The Philadelphia Water Department says about 18,000 customers were impacted by the boil water advisory due to a pumping serving station failure that caused a loss of water pressure in the area. The neighborhoods that were impacted include Wynnefield Heights, Wynnefield, Overbrook Farms, Green Hill Farms, Overbrook, Overbrook Park, Morris Park, and parts of Carrol Park, Haddington, West Parkside, and West Fairmount Park.
The Philadelphia Water Department has issued a boil water advisory for parts of upper West Philadelphia affecting around 18,000 customers due to a loss of water pressure caused by a failed pumping serving station. The impacted neighborhoods include Wynnefield Heights, Wynnefield, Overbrook Farms, Green Hill Farms, Overbrook, Overbrook Park, Morris Park, and parts of Carrol Park, Haddington, West Parkside, and West Fairmount Park. Residents in these areas should boil their water before drinking it. Water pressure has been restored, but a lack of pressure can cause disease-causing organisms to enter water pipes.
The Philadelphia Water Department issued a boil water advisory for parts of West Philadelphia, including ZIP codes 19151, and parts of 19131 and 19139, after a pumping station serving a section of upper West Philadelphia failed, causing a loss of pressure in the system and leaving some customers without water. Customers should not drink the water without boiling it first, and are urged to bring water to a rolling boil for one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing formula.
