Cooling Towers and Irrigation Meters

Contact 202-612-3500 to schedule a service order to install a meter on cooling towers or irrigation systems. The service must be “meter ready,” meaning that the service must already have meter connections present. Services must not be installed above 4 feet from the ground or less than 17 inches from the ground and safely accessible for our technicians. Failure to meet these requirements may result in loss of credits for your sewer charges.

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.
