PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE
Friday, March 11,
2016
Manager, Community Outreach: Emanuel D.
Briggs
(202)787-2003 or emanuel.briggs@dcwater.com
Greetings ANC
Commissioners:
Resident feedback is very important, as
their comments are heavily considered by our Board while voting on the proposed
rate increase in July. In fact, interested residents are encouraged to sign up
and testify at the Hearing; our Board Secretary and her team attend each
meeting with a sign-up sheet for this purpose. It is now time for the 7th
Annual Town Halls to begin!
In addition to a presentation given by Mr.
Hawkins covering the proposed rate increase, our Town Hall Meetings follow an
open house format, whereupon DC Water staff representing each of our
departments will be stationed at tables around the room and prepared to address
customer inquiries on a wide array of topics, including the following:
- Water quality
and water conservation
- Wastewater
treatment process
- New and ongoing
construction projects, and coordination efforts with DDOT and fellow
utilities
- Routine
water/sewer infrastructure repairs, both scheduled and emergency repairs
- Status on
pending work orders for reported water and sewer emergencies and/or
reporting new emergencies
- Community
Outreach program
- DC Clean Rivers
Project updates
- Catch basins
- Water mains and
fire hydrants
- Overall DC
Water personnel operations
- Employment
opportunities at DC Water
- Customer Service

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 7th Annual Ward Town Hall Meetings, and please stay tuned for
further updates.
