Greetings DC Water Community Stakeholders:
Please see our revised list of ongoing and upcoming construction activities-

Active Work Location: Jay Street NE

Weeks of February 8 and February 15

  *   We have successfully completed the installation of 250 linear feet of new
8-inch water mains on Jay Street, between 47th Street and 47th Place.

  *   We have begun testing and disinfection of the newly installed water mains
on Jay Street, and these procedures are still ongoing.

  *   We have begun the installation of 250 linear feet of new 8-inch water
mains on Jay Street, between 47th Place and 48th Street, and we are now
scheduled to complete this portion of work by Tuesday, February 16.

  *   For this location, we are tentatively scheduled to install new water
services from Wednesday, February 10 through Friday, February 26. During this
phase of work, we will be connecting the water service lines to homes in these
blocks to the newly installed water mains. Please see below specific details on
what residents can expect to see during installation of new water services.

Week of February 22

  *   We are now planning to begin the installation of 300 linear feet of new
8-inch water mains on Jay Street, between 48th Street and 48th Place on
Wednesday, February 17; we are now scheduled to complete this portion of work
on Thursday, February 25.

Typically, during installation of new water services, you will see the
following:

  *   We will begin to paint the areas where we will be working, so you may
begin to see paint markings on the sidewalk, portions of the roadway, and even
on portions of yard spaces.
  *   Essentially, we will be replacing the portions of water service lines
feeding homes in the block on the city (public space) side. This could include
replacing portions of lead service lines with copper service lines in public
space (in cases where the public portion of the service line is lead), and/or
upgrading the diameter of the service line in public space from ¾ inch up to 1
inch.
  *   Where property owners may have lead for the portion of their service line
inside their private property, DC Water will replace this portion of lead line
with copper if the property owner has signed a Lead Service Replacement
Agreement with DC Water and a service order for this private side lead line
replacement has been issued.
  *   We will provide our standard 48-hour advance notification door hanger
before starting the work.
  *   As property lines vary widely across the District, we understand that for
many of the properties, portions of the front yard spaces are located in public
space (property owned by the District). Despite this fact, we understand
customers’ sensitivity when it comes to disturbances inside yards, so we will
do our very best to work around plantings and pavers in the public space
portion of yards; we do strongly suggest that property owners temporarily
remove these items prior to the work, however, because DC Water is not
responsible for replacement of these items, if damaged.
  *   Similarly, for portions of yard spaces located inside customers’ private
property, DC Water is not responsible for replacement of any plantings or
pavers that are damaged during private side service line replacements. For this
reason, we ask that customers temporarily remove these items inside their
private property as well.
  *   We may, on a case-by-case basis, need to perform a test pit in some of
the yards. This would include a small excavation (dig) in some of the yards in
order to access the pipe and/or move the water meter from the private property
over into the public space for future access, if needed. We just want to make
sure you have this information.

Please note that in observation of the “Presidents’ Day” Holiday, we will not
be performing any construction activities on Monday, February 15.

Please also keep in mind that these construction activities are highly
dependent upon favorable weather conditions.

Thanks much, please stay tuned for more updates, and make it a wonderful
week…..ON PURPOSE!!

NEW DC WATER PROJECT IN YOUR AREA

Greetings DC Water Community Stakeholders:
This message is intended to inform you of a new DC Water construction project
that will soon begin in your area. As part of its Capital Improvement Program,
DC Water is replacing existing 12-inch and smaller cast iron water mains in
various locations throughout the city.  Overall benefits of these projects
include improved water quality and system reliability. Construction activities
for this project will take place in the Deanwood neighborhood. The scope of
work will include installation of approximately 9,700 linear feet of 4-inch up
to 12-inch water mains; replacement of service lines (lead and/or other), as
needed; replacement of fire hydrants and valves; and restoration of all
surfaces disturbed by the project construction upon completion of the work.

The project is scheduled to start early next month, and be completed by August
2021. The normal work hours will be from 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through
Friday. However, as construction moves forward there may be portions of work
that need to be completed at night and/or on weekends due to inclement weather
or other unforeseen circumstances-every attempt will be made to keep these
occurrences to a minimum. This and other important information may be found on
the attached project information sheet.

As part of our regular construction outreach program, we will provide the
following:

  *   This e-mail message and attached project information sheet are being
shared with some local area residents, businesses and community organizations
that will be directly impacted by the project construction; all ANC 7C and 7D
Commissioners; Ward 7 representatives in the Mayor’s Office of Community
Relations and Services; and Ward 7 Councilmember Vincent Gray and members of
his staff.
  *   This project information will be posted to our website at
www.dcwater.com<http://www.dcwater.com> and updated regularly.
  *   Our Contractor will be going out beginning next week to hand deliver
printed copies of the attached project information sheet to all customers that
will be directly impacted by the project construction.
  *   As our project gets underway, we will be providing you regular weekly
email updates to keep you informed about our work activities.
  *   We are available to provide you with a presentation to discuss the
project’s short-term construction impacts and long-term benefits, as well as
address any concerns you may have. If interested in a presentation, please
contact me and we will be happy to accommodate you.

Thanks much for allowing us to share this important information with you, and
please let us know if you have any questions.
