DC Water Expands Virtual Meeting Presence for Public

March 31, 2020

DC Water board and committee meetings will now all be accessible to the public as the authority takes steps to limit gatherings but still conduct all business in public.

Today’s announcement means audio and occasionally visual components of the board meetings, along with agendas and all documents discussed by members, will be available at this link:   https://www.dcwater.com/board-calendar

Chief Executive Officer and General Manager David L. Gadis says all authority staff and Board members will participate remotely to minimize health risks yet still ensure that all authority business is transparent.

“This is an unprecedented time but it matters to me that the authority conduct all of its work in the sunshine,” Mr. Gadis said. “I credit our Board Secretary and Board Chairman for working to have an uninterrupted meeting schedule so that DC Water can still serve our customers but also take care of official business during a time when the majority of the city is sheltering in place.”

DC Water today announced the launch of Pure Water DC, a groundbreaking program designed to strengthen the District’s water supply resilience and secure a second source of drinking water for the nation’s capital. To kick off this initiative, DC Water convened a panel discussion along with industry experts, utilities, and federal and state regulators from across the region. The panel explored practical ways to make our water supply more resilient, including advanced water reuse —a growing solution nationwide to address vulnerabilities in the water supply. This method relies on advanced treatment processes to purify water to drinking standards so it can be safely recycled for various purposes.
