Your Neighborhood is Our Office

You can find DC Water’s employees at neighborhood events, schools, festivals, or even just handing out water on a hot day. We do this because we care about our community. We travel throughout our city, meeting those who live or work in the District so we can understand your concerns and share updates about your water and sewer service.

You can tap into our wide range of community outreach services by requesting an expert speaker from our Speakers Bureau, inviting our employees to teach your students in the classroom, or by attending one of our many community events. At DC Water, we know how important it is to be out in our community, listening to our customers and providing information about the vital services we provide.

DC Water employees are involved in our local community by volunteering for many activities and fundraisers throughout the District. Our employees consider working at DC Water more than just a job- we care about our community, the work we do and those we serve.

DC Water Breaks Ground on Piney Branch Tunnel, Final Phase of DC Clean Rivers Project

Today, DC Water broke ground on the Piney Branch Tunnel, the final major tunnel in our Clean Rivers Project. This work will help keep sewage and trash out of local waterways and make Rock Creek, the Potomac River, and the Chesapeake Bay cleaner for our community.

When we finish the Piney Branch Tunnel, it will hold at least 4.2 million gallons of rainwater and wastewater during heavy storms. Instead of overflowing into Piney Branch, that water will go to the Blue Plains Water Resource Recovery Facility, where it will be treated.
