We are launching a campaign to highlight local businesses and their products or services that wouldn’t be the same without DC tap water!
 
From beer, soap, tea, coffee shops, and more, we are excited to explore the businesses unique to the District, and encourage the public to follow along!
 
Follow us on Instagram to see who we highlight; and check back to this page as the list grows. If you’re a business owner and want Wendy and friends to visit your local business, shoot us an email.

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.
