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

DC WASA's contractor lost workday case incidence rate has been consistently below the national performance, based on the Bureau
of Labor Statistics - for the number of lost work day injuries for every 200,000 hours worked.
Homeland Security - Emergency response planning and participation in various drills, is a priority for DC WASA. We regularly work
with the District of Columbia's Homeland Security Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) on planning, drills and responding to
actual emergencies. Pandemic Flu emergency planning is a priority for this fiscal year. In preparation of the predicted Pandemic Flu
emergency, we have and will continue to stress Pandemic Flu emergency preparation and response planning. DC WASA's
Pandemic planning is consistent with the District of Columbia City-wide planning. Our Pandemic action planning includes the
following:
• Implementation of DC WASA wide Pandemic Coordinator and a Response Team Program;
• Identification of critical mission functions and responsibilities for the organization and respective departments;
• Establishment of a delegation of authority and orders of succession, that will be two deep within each department for all
managers and key supervisory personnel;
• Review and establishment of alternative work strategies;
• Implementation of cross training strategies; and
• Monitoring employee absenteeism - for early warning signs of work areas affected by a Pandemic emergency event.
DC WASA has continued its excellent record of performance. The following sections of this budget document provide further detail of
the challenges we face, our activities moving forward and the resources allocated to do them.
