Buying or Selling? DC Water makes it easy!

Your Title agent has direct access to us through our 3rd Party Portal (3PP) application. Ensure your Title agent obtains your Ownership Change Request (OCR#) from the portal. Your first or final bill will arrive within 30 days. Please note that ownership change requests are not accepted by phone or email. DC Water accounts are assigned to the property owner, not individual occupants. Tenants are added to the property owner's account and can receive a copy of the bill. In accordance with District of Columbia Municipal Regulations, property owners are ultimately responsible for payment of all water and sewer bills, including any bills left unpaid by a tenant.

Renting or Leasing? No problem!

Tenants share the existing account with the property owner. To receive a copy of the bill in your name, the owner or authorized representative (i.e., management company) can call or email your information! See contact information and details below!

When contacting us please provide:

• A daytime phone number for the tenant, including the area code
• The service address where the tenant should be added
• The DC Water account number associated with the service address
