DCWASA Institutes New Rates and Fees Effective October 1, 2002

October 02, 2002

The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DCWASA) will begin charging new rates and fees effective October 1, 2002. Earlier this year, the WASA Board of Directors adopted a new rate and fee structure that lowers the base water and sewer rate by approximately 5 percent; creates a new metering fee and passes through the District of Columbia government right-of-way occupancy fee.

In our brochure, which is available on our website, you will see a sample of what your new bill will look like beginning October 1, 2002.
