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 additional information on the proposed rate increases (PDF 262 kb) .
