2026 Ratepayer Adjustment Town Hall

One of the most important aspects of the rate setting process is public engagement. That's why we try to give customers every opportunity to hear about the work we are doing and the budget and proposed rate adjustment for the next year. We will be holding a hybrid Town Hall Meetings for residents, as well as briefings for the Mayor's team, DC Council staff, and our partners in the business and nonprofit communities.

The virtual and in-person town hall was be held on Thursday, May 28 at 7:00 p.m. at the DC Water headquarters. You can find theFY27 & FY28 Town Hall presentation here.

Following the Town Hall Meeting, the proposed rates will be the subject of a public hearing before the Board of Directors on Tuesday, June 23 at 6:30 p.m. virtually and in-person. If you are not able to participate in the meeting, you can submit comments on the rate proposals at board.secretary@dcwater.com.

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.
