FY 2010 — FY 2019 Capital Budget

DC Water's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) generally continues down the path established by the Board with the approval of last year's program. While the ten-year disbursements remained flat at approximately $3.8 billion, the Lifetime budget increased by $402.1 million. Over 80 percent of the increase in the Lifetime budget is attributable to the Water ($197.3 million) and Sanitary Sewer ($134.8 million) Service Areas to continue the ramp-up approved in last year's budget supported by the 2009 Water and Sewer Facility Plans that identified critical needs in these areas. The fact that the disbursements budget remains approximately the same as last year results from the decrease spending in the Wastewater area ($170.1) million due to the completion of major projects in this planning period and the increased spending in the Water and Sewer programs that do not occur until the latter part of the ten years.
