This project provides funding for WSSC Water's share of Blue Plains plant-wide projects for which construction began after June 30, 1993. There are 26 DC Water capital program projects covered by the WSSC Water capital project. Current projects with significant spending in FY'26 include: electrical system upgrades (TZ); floodwall construction (JF); plant-wide program management (AL); chemical system/building upgrades (PF); and other miscellaneous projects including roof replacements (OQ) and emergency repairs and rehab (V1, V2, V3). Other projects with significant spending over the 6-yr period include electrical monitoring (IC) in FY'27; implementation of solar power at Blue Plains phase 2 (XP) and control system replacement (GW) in FY'28.

The schedule and expenditure projections were updated to reflect the latest estimates available from DC Water for the constituent Blue Plains joint-use projects as of April 2024.

This is a continuation of DC Water's upgrading of the Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant. Blue Plains Inter-Municipal Agreement of 2012; DCWASA Master Plan (1998); Blue Plains Facilities Master Plan (2016); and DC Water's preliminary FY'25-FY'34 Capital Improvements Program.

The project scope has remained the same. Project costs are derived from the DC Water Capital Budget 10-year forecast of spending and DC Water's latest project management data, and reflect DC Water's cost estimates and expenditure schedules available at the time this document was prepared. Given the open-ended nature of the Blue Plains projects, this PDF does not fully reflect the total project costs. These projects are, in fact, expected to continue indefinitely. As new sub-projects are added to the Blue Plains facility plans, the associated costs will be added to this project. The funding schedule also indicates the calculated Rockville share of the cost.
