Hist and Proj Operating Receipts FY 2011 2 17 2010 - DC Water

We completed various renovations in the Central Operations Facility (CO F) at a total cost of $2.1 million. This included office
additions and renovations of the Finance and Procurement departments, replacements of window blind systems for on several floors
and roof replacements at the COF and the Central Maintenance Facility (CMF). We also made improvements to signs and fencing at
our Bryant Street location.
Over the next several years, we will spend almost $5 million, continuing our efforts to retrofit buildings and bathrooms throughout the
Authority to make them accessible to the disabled. We will also finish installation of a comprehensive fire suppression system, within
the plant, and complete renovations needed at the CMF. As part of our ongoing maintenance efforts, we will be repaving roadways
and replacing roofs at various pumping stations and other locations. Through DC WASA's comprehensive space assessment, which
is now underway, we will begin to plan and address both short and long-term space needs and to prepare for several large projects
planned for the Blue Plains Plant (Long Term Control Plan, Digesters, and Nitrogen Removal Projects).
DC WASA's continues its. commitment to improving the environment around us through our DC WASA-wide Recycling
Program. During FY 2009, the "I'm Recycling DC WASA - Office Recycling Program" was launched by the Authority as part of its
commitment to making our business operations environmentally sustainable and involves all employees throughout DC WASA. The
theme of the program, "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!" encourages the recycling of office products and use of recycled office products
such as papers, plastic, cans and glass; and supports the "Green DC" revolution in the District.
When reviewing our current Ten-Year Plan, it should be remembered that there are a number of important issues and strategic goals
that we continue to review and study as we maintain and build the infrastructure necessary to support an excellent organization.
Currently, there are a number of important emerging issues that we are closely monitoring to ensure that we maintain reliable and
efficient service to our customers. We continue to broaden our planning horizon for projects or operational changes that may be
necessary to address regulatory as well as other emerging issues.
Our updated CIP involved great consideration given to important needs that management and staff believe cannot be deferred,
balanced against the current economic conditions and the impact of our capital program upon our retail and wholesale customers. It
must be recognized that local and federal officials have understood the importance of safe drinking water and reliable sewer and
wastewater treatment throughout the Washington metropolitan region for many years. The recent bond rating upgrade by Moody's
was due, in part, to the recognition that DC WASA has continually re-invested in the infrastructure of an aging and complex system to
meet the critical water and sanitary needs throughout our service area. Research by the American Water Works Association
