Meter Refresh

We were one of the 1st water utilities to install automated meters. But like just about everything else, they wear out over time. So, now we are replacing about 88,000 of them across the District.

New Customer Portal

It’s time for a refresh. We have completely overhauled the My DC Water portal with a new look, new features and better security. To get started you will need to set up a new online account.

Delivering Cleaner Rivers

We are celebrating the completion of the first phase of the Clean Rivers Project. This 7 mile tunnel deep underground will help control sewer overflows that previously were discharged to the Anacostia during heavy rains.

New CEO and General Manager

After a nationwide search, our Board of Directors has selected David Gadis, a third generation utility employee, to be our new leader.

Technology in wastewater treatment is taking off and DC Water is helping pilot this incredible period of innovation. Our new Bailey Bioenergy Facility is a great example. By capturing methane gas we can power three large jet engines to produce 10 megawatts of electricity – enough to power 11,000 homes.
