Series 2026 Bond Transaction Delivers Significant Long-Term Cost Savings

DC Water has closed on a refinancing deal for its Series 2026 bonds that will save customers millions of dollars and keep rates affordable across the District. The refinancing transaction, which closed this month, delivers approximately $54 million in budget savings over the next twenty years, directly benefiting DC ratepayers through reduced costs.

DC Water, in coordination with the Environmental Protection Agency, is evaluating soil samples from areas directly impacted by the Potomac Interceptor overflows, where the initial clean-up is complete. This includes the drainage channel along Clara Barton Parkway, Rock Run Culvert (Culvert 12), and the unnamed tributary to the Potomac River.

Starting the evening of Friday, March 27, and continuing through the early morning of Monday, March 30, essential repairs will be underway as part of a high-priority project on the Rock Creek Main Interceptor (RCMI) near Rose Park.
