Greetings ANC Commissioners:
  
As many of you are aware, for the past 5 consecutive years, DC Water General Manager/C.E.O. George Hawkins has been co-hosting a series of Town Hall Meetings with District Ward Councilmembers each year, with one meeting taking place in each Ward. The primary purpose for these meetings is to generate customer feedback regarding the proposed rate increase for water/sewer services for the upcoming fiscal year-this feedback is shared with our Board of Directors as part of the review process during our Annual Public Rates Hearing, which takes place in late spring. It is now time for the 6th Annual Town Halls to begin!!
   
In addition to a presentation given by Mr. Hawkins covering the proposed rate increase, there will be information and DC Water staff available to discuss the following topics with residents:
   
· Water quality
· Construction projects
· Clean Rivers Project
· Catch basins
· Water mains and fire hydrants
· Employment opportunities at DC Water
· Customer Service (Billing)
  
Please see below the list of scheduled meetings:
  
· Wednesday, April 1 – Ward 7 Town Hall
· Thursday, April 2 – Ward 2 Town Hall
· Tuesday, April 7 – Ward 1 Town Hall
· Wednesday, April 8 – Ward 8 Town Hall
· Thursday, April 9 – Ward 5 Town Hall
· Tuesday, April 14 – Ward 3 Town Hall
· Tuesday, April 21 – Ward 6 Town Hall
· Thursday, April 23 – Ward 4 Town Hall (TENTATIVE)
  
Each meeting will be from 6:30pm – 8:30pm.
  
We ask that you please mark your respective calendars for the above meeting dates – please don’t miss the opportunity to speak with your water utility about the related concerns or issues you have in your community. We are working to confirm the various meeting locations, and once this has been done we will be providing follow up emails with this additional information, as well as coordinating with Council staff on the creation of meeting flyers that we can provide to you in both electronic and hard copy formats so that you may assist DC Water in spreading the word about the Town Hall Meetings by circulating the flyers throughout your neighborhood. We will also provide up-to-date information regarding the meetings on our website at www.dcwater.com/customercare/rates.cfm, which will include electronic copies of each meeting flyer. Please continue to check that space as well.
   
In closing, we thank you for your interest in our 6th Annual Ward Town Hall Meetings, and please stay tuned for further information!!
