Impact Reporting

For years, DC Water has been the leader in the municipal water sector on non-financial disclosure. Our FY24 Impact & Resilience report discloses activities and risks related to our impact on the environment, in our community, and via our organizational governance. The report specifically outlines our resilience efforts including our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program and how we’ve prepared to respond to a variety of events. Our progress is tracked and reported using the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) metrics for water utilities.

Programs and activities in this report emerge from our strategic plan, Blueprint 2.0, and are integrated into our team’s daily activities. 

We hope you enjoy reading about the new milestones that we have accomplished over the past financial year as well as updates to our ongoing projects. We look forward to improving on our efforts in the coming years, as we strive to be better informed and prepared for material risks and opportunities we face, and present our performance in addressing those risks in subsequent Impact & Resilience Annual Reports.

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.
