DC Water helps and repairs leaks – free

Don't let the drain go down.

DC Water starts a new program with which legitimate customers can find leak and repair free of charge. A new program for evaluating and repair support in residential areas could be a large money saver if leaks increase the costs of the water service.

The new leak repair program is provided as part of the DC Water Care program that offers our customers financial support and support.

DC Water customers inscribed at a DC Water Customer Assistance Program (CAP) that delivers monthly discounts for living customers are entitled to leak evaluation and free repairs. You could be entitled to CAP if you meet the income thresholds that are $ 86,650 for a household and up to $ 123,750 for a house with four people.

Register now to determine whether you can receive CAP discounts on your monthly invoice and can be considered for this program.

As part of the program, DC Water sends a licensed plumber to her house to look for some of the most common guilty for leaks – toilets, taps, outdoor figrogots and much more.

DC Water says that a dripping tap can lead to a loss of up to 10,000 gallons water per month. “For the average family of four, this could give their monthly bill by more than 250 US dollars,” said DC Water in a press release.

As soon as the plumber has ended the inspection, a checklist of the leaks found is provided together with a list of the approved plumber to remedy problems. DC Water has teamed up with the DC Office of Energy and Environment (DC Doee) to cover the costs as long as this money remains.

In 2024, DC Water provided subsidies of 5.2 million US dollars to almost 5,000 customers and more than 112,000 US dollars in support from the program (servant who have a supportive handling) to help 339 more customers in need.
