Did you spot us in Adams Morgan today? 💧
For #ImagineADayWithoutWater, our outreach team connected with residents, shared resources and highlighted the importance of the water services we rely on every day.
Because a day without water is a day none of us can afford to imagine.
Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!
Today, we celebrate Indigenous cultures and communities while honoring the Piscataway people and their longstanding connection to the DC region.

🚧 Work is moving forward at Pennyfield Lock.
Crews are beginning ground improvement and grouting work to stabilize the area ahead of permanent repairs to the Potomac Interceptor.
Next up: sliplining to install new pipe sections inside the existing line.
Additional testing confirms the Potomac River has returned to normal.
After months of monitoring and expanded testing, results show the river is healthy, with no current signs of harm from January’s Potomac Interceptor sewer line collapse.

The new DC Infrastructure Academy (DCIA) is officially open in Ward 5!
Opened by @MayorBowser and District partners, DCIA will expand training for high-demand infrastructure careers.
DC Water is proud to be a DCIA partner, helping connect residents to careers, including water.
Before you log off for the weekend, take a few minutes to check your home for leaks. A dripping faucet or running toilet can waste water and add to your bill.
Our free Residential Leak Assessment & Repair Program may be able to help: dcwater.com/customer-center/…
