Bill Dispute Process

Under District Regulations for initiating a challenge, bill disputes must be submitted in writing and include the reason for the dispute. Customers can now visit the DC Water website Disputing Bill, enter basic account information, make a few selections, add any necessary attachments, and submit a dispute online – directly to our Customer Support team. No log-in is required. 

You can still submit disputes in writing to our Customer Support team in writing by mail or email; however, if using these methods, please allow additional time for processing:

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.
