This Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor focuses on designing and implementing environmentally responsible policies, programs, and technologies that protect our region's waterways, air, and lands. Our commitment is to excel in all aspects of water delivery, wastewater collection and treatment and customer service. To achieve these objectives, DC WASA will strive to: • Deliver continuous, adequate water flows for fire fighting and retail customer uses • Improve the integrity of our water distribution, and wastewater collection and treatment system • Implement best-in-class asset management practices • Minimize disruption to our neighborhoods and the environment • Excel in all aspects of capital project planning and management • Reduce the impact of our wastewater system on our local water ways • Minimize nuisance odors • Reduce carbon footprint • Beneficially use biosolids and wastewater • Provide support to the District of Columbia's stormwater management responsibilities In light of significantly reduced lead levels achieved through the application of an "optimal corrosion control treatment", the DC WASA Board of Directors has reexamined the "Lead Service Line Replacement Program" and has adopted a different strategy. The implementation plan for this modified program is under development. DC WASA will of course continue to focus on water quality and make improvements to ensure that our systems are both effective and reliable. As evidence of that commitment, our CIP includes over $500 million (cash disbursements basis) for water distribution system improvements. Following are some of the major investments we are making in the water system. • Initiated an effort to convert the water system hydraulic model to GIS and recalibrate the model using hydrant flow test results. • The Water System Facilities Plan Update was completed and briefings provided to DC WASA management and the Board of Directors. • Design was completed for the small diameter water main program projects scheduled for construction in FY 2010. Fire Hydrants - DC WASA initiated a fire hydrant replacement program in October 2005 and committed $26.5 million to fund replacement/upgrade of up to 3,000 hydrants for the District of Columbia by 2011. In October 2007, DC WASA and Federal Emergency Management Services (FEMS) entered into an agreement that established a regular inspection program and five-year Budget Overview and Performance II - 30

target for replacement of non-standard fire hydrants. As of September 2009, we have replaced over 3,800 fire hydrants in public space, exceeding our target of 3,000 for FY 2009. This capital budget includes a proposal for Phase II of the DC WASA Hydrant Upgrade/Replacement Program for approximately $30 million in additional funding to replace over 3,000 additional fire hydrants by FY 2015. This proposal was submitted to FEMS and DC government officials in FY 2009 for their review and acceptance. If approved by DC, Phase II would begin in FY 2010. Identification of all public hydrants and their availability status has been provided to both FEMS and the general public through the use of GIS technology and GoogleEarth. While some hydrants are inaccessible to DC WASA and FEMS due to physical obstructions (such as construction fence sites), it is our goal to ensure that 99 percent of the public hydrants are in service and available for fire fighters based upon the regular inspection program. As depicted in the chart below, DC WASA was at 98.5% as of August 2009.

This Facilities Plan evaluated the existing system and provided an assessment of improvements needed. Specifically, the 2000 Facilities Plan identified fourteen major projects and a small diameter water main rehabilitation program to be included in the CIP at a ten-year cost of approximately $300 million. At this time, 10 of the 14 projects included in the Facilities Plan have been completed and are under construction or have been accomplished through other programmed projects.
