Annual Water Quality Reports

DC Water's Annual Water Quality Report details the outstanding quality of your drinking water.  Our test results demonstrate that your drinking water surpasses the water quality standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Over the course of the year, our water monitoring program tested more than 40,000 samples taken from a variety of sources across the District – more than required – to ensure that the water we deliver to local homes and businesses is clean and reliable.

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.
