How do I get the funds for the Lead Water Service Line Replacement Payment Assistance Program?

The legislation directs the Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) to develop the application and post it in on their website.  Information about the program will also be posted on DC Water website.  Once the application has been developed, the property owner can complete and submit it to DOEE. DOEE has 30-days to review and notify the applicant that the application was disapproved or approved and the amount of the assistance. Once approved the proved, the property owner must obtain a contractor to complete the work. Once the work has been completed, the invoice must be sent to DC Water. DC Water will certify the completion of the work and pay the contractor within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.

Additional details will be finalized in the coming year. DC Water will share this information when it becomes available—sign up for updates at dcwater.com/dc-water-email-signups.
