PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE
Manager, Community Outreach: Emanuel D. Briggs
Greetings:
As many of you are aware, since 2010 DC Water has been co-hosting its Ward Town Hall Meetings with District Councilmembers each year, with one meeting happening in each Ward. While we did not hold Town Halls last year, we are resuming the meetings this year. The primary purpose for the Town Halls is to share with residents important information on the proposed rate increase for the upcoming fiscal year. Resident feedback from the meetings is shared with our Board of Directors prior to our annual Public Rates Hearing, which takes place in early-mid May. Resident feedback during the Town Halls and Rates Hearing 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/or her team will attend each Town Hall Meeting with a sign-up sheet for residents who wish to testify at the Hearing.
In addition to rates, DC Water personnel will be available at the Town Halls to address resident questions and concerns on other topics such as water quality, water conservation, wastewater treatment, construction projects, infrastructure maintenance and emergency repairs, community outreach, DC Clean Rivers Project, employment opportunities, and billing.
As you may also know, our tireless leader, former C.E.O. and General Manager Mr. George Hawkins, has departed DC Water as of January 5. Our new Interim C.E.O. and General Manager is Mr. Henderson Brown. Mr. Brown is eager to work with your ANC and meet with your constituents in his new capacity, so these meetings will also be a great opportunity for that purpose.
