Media are encouraged to join DC Water, Casey Trees and local nurseries as DC Water unveils its new soil amendment product that will be used in the metropolitan Washington region. This is the next generation in DC Water’s plan to recover resources from the nutrient-rich wastewater it treats, and brings to fruition the vision and research invested in the thermal hydrolysis and anaerobic digester facilities commissioned last year. The thermal hydrolysis process creates an exceptional Class A biosolids product from which this soil amendment suitable for homes and gardens is made.

Visuals at Oxon Run Park include trees amended with biosolids, as well as trucks with the new logo and a large amount of biosolids product.
