Consecutive Usage Alerts

Discover Our Consecutive Usage Notifications!

We're thrilled to introduce our Consecutive Usage Notifications, an amazing feature designed to keep you informed about your water usage. If your water is running continuously for several hours, we'll alert you right away! Whether it's a broken pipe, a running toilet, or a leaky faucet, these notifications can be your first clue to potential issues, helping you avoid high water bills.

How It Works: Our powerful tool tracks your water usage and notifies you when it detects constant usage based on your selected thresholds. Once you enroll, you'll receive real-time email alerts and daily phone or text alerts between 8 AM and 8 PM, including weekends.

Am I Enrolled? If you're a residential customer and provided an email or phone number when creating your DCWater account, you're already enrolled! For multi-family or commercial customers, you can easily opt-in by visiting your High Usage notification screen and selecting your preferences.

First turn of cutterhead signals the start of excavation for the Potomac River Tunnel Project

In a defining moment for one of the District’s largest infrastructure investments, DC Water has marked its next major milestone in the Potomac River Tunnel Project. The first tunnel boring machine, Mary, has launched her northbound journey breaking through the soil to signal the start of excavation.

With the first turn of Mary’s drill-like cutterhead underground, the machine pushed forward to begin tunneling, representing the transition from years of planning and preparation to active tunnel construction on the $819 million project.
