Why Are Rate Increases Needed?
The proposed rate increases are primarily needed to pay for DC
WASA's ten-year, $3.1 billion capital improvement program (CIP). The
CIP includes the initial phases of our combined sewer overflow
reduction plan which will help clean up the Anacostia and Potomac
rivers and Rock Creek as well as the $300 million plan to eliminate
the publicly-owned portion of lead service lines. In addition, many
of the projects in the CIP will reduce operating costs over the long
run. This Document provides
