benefits from DC Water's McMillan stormwater project, the First Street Tunnel project and the Northeast Boundary Tunnel project

Because I suspect that many Bloomingdale residents are not paying too much attention to all of the current DC Water info, perhaps it would be helpful to chunk it up a bit.



Here is some key info from one of DC Water's recent presentations to the community:

What Are The Project Benefits?

Spring 2014 -- McMillan Stormwater Storage comes online

  • Some reduction in sewer backups and surface flooding
  • Greatest benefit for properties north of V Street


Spring 2016 -- First Street Tunnel comes online

  • Significant reduction in sewer backups and surface flooding
  • Benefit for properties throughout Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park


2022 -- Northeast Boundary Tunnel completion

  • Further reduction in sewer backups and surface flooding
  • Benefits many chronic flood areas in the Northeast Boundary sewer shed
