Joint Utility Discount Day (JUDD) is Tuesday September 30th

September 19, 2008

Joint Utility Discount Day is a huge annual event where low-income DC residents complete just one single application to apply for energy assistance and discounts offered by DC WASA, PEPCO, Washington Gas, and Verizon all at the same time. They may also be eligible for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

Processors will be at the Washington Convention Center, 801 Mt. Vernon Place, NW, to help residents complete the paperwork on Tuesday Sept. 30 from 8am until 7pm.

To avoid processing delays, customers should bring:
1. Proof of household income,
2. Picture ID with social security number,
3. Recent utility bills such as oil, gas, electric, telephone and water and sewer,
4. A lease agreement or rent receipt, if heat is included.

In coordination with the utilities, the event is sponsored by the participating agencies, the District Department of the Environment (DDOE), the Office of the People’s Counsel and the DC Public Service Commission.

For more information about JUDD, call the DDOE Hotline at (202) 673-6750.

DC WASA offers discounts on water and sewer bills and also sponsors SPLASH (Serving People by Lending a Supporting Hand) a customer assistance program for residents which is funded solely by donor contributions. To donate to the SPLASH program, call (202) 354-3600 or go to https://www.dcwasa.com/splash/splash_contribution_entry.php.

A Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) occurred early this morning, while performing ongoing repairs on the Anacostia Force Main in Northeast DC. At approximately 1:40 a.m. the sewer line experienced a short-term, unexpected surge in flow that exceeded the capacity. Clean-up is underway and is expected to be completed later today.

With excessive rainfall forecasted for the region DC Water and WSSC Water are actively monitoring weather conditions and implementing mitigation strategies to minimize the risk of a controlled emergency sewage overflow from the Anacostia Wastewater Pumping Station (WWPS) in Capitol Heights, Maryland. This action would be taken as a last resort as the agencies work together to protect communities and the environment following the July 20 collapse of the 108-inch diameter Anacostia Sewer Force Main in Northeast Washington, D.C. near Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens.
