CONTROL CENTER OVERVIEW

The mission of the Water and Sewer Utility Administration
(WASUA), of the Department of Public Works (DPW), is to
provide the citizens of the District with drinking water and
to collect and treat and dispose of wastewater for the
District, as well as a large portion of neighboring
Jurisdictions in a manner that protects our waterways.

Revenues derived from the sale of water and sewer services
fund the mission of the utility, finance the cost of pro-
viding water by the Washington Aqueduct, an agency of the Army
Corps of Engineers, and contribute to the maintenance of the
utility's infrastructure.

The Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant is the
utility's largest single investment. It services a population
of two million in the District, Maryland, and Virginia.

08 11/86.1 For Justifications see FY 1988 Capital Budget and Six-Year Improvements Plan.

Blue Plains is the largest advanced wastewater treatment plant
in the country with an estimated value of more than $500
million. In FY 1988 it will treat and dispose of 120.5
billion gallons of sewage.

The Washington Aqueduct supplies water to the District for
distribution by WASUA. In FY 1986 an average of 162 million
gallons of water per day were delivered to the District for
distribution. This water was distributed to 127,000 District
customers via 3 pumping stations and 1,286 miles of water
mains. The system also includes 8,736 fire hydrants, 18,457
valves, and 9 water storage facilities.

The District's treatment standards are mandated by the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit
No. DC0021199, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency

AGENCY EXPENDITURE SUMMARY & BUDGET JUSTIFICATION

AGENCY: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS (LA) WATER AND SEWER UTILITY ADMINISTRATION (70)

(Name & Code)

(EPA), Region III. A consent decree, agreed to by the
District and EPA, requires the District to operate and
maintain all treatment process-related equipment in operable
condition so that permit effluent standards are met.
An
Intermunicipal Agreement (IMA), signed by the major Blue
Plains users on September 5, 1985, outlines the future
expansion and use of the plant as well as sludge disposal
through the year 2010.

The sewerage collection system is composed of approximately
1,800 miles of sanitary/combined and 600 miles of stormsewers,
25 pumping stations, and about 27,000 catch basins. The
utility's infrastructure, valued at $750 million, requires
substantial maintenance to ensure system reliability.

Continuing improvement efforts are being made in the water
measurement, billing, and collection programs to assure that
all customers are billed accurately and on time. Billed
revenue in FY 1988 is expected to exceed $158 million and cash
collections will be about $146 million.

The priorities of WASUA, as reflected in this budget, will
provide for the treatment of wastewater in accordance with
permit and consent decree requirements, disposal of sludge in
an environmentally sound fashion, support of the District's
economic development program by providing essential water and
sewer services, protection of the valuable physical assets
that include the Blue Plains Plant, the water and sewer system
lines, pumping stations and improved maintenance and, thus,
better service.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Appropriated Budget Request

The FY 1988 appropriated budget request is $152,784,000, and
1,288 continuing full-time (CFT) positions, and 164 term
full-time (TFT) positions, a decrease from FY 1987 of
$7,863,000. Position levels remain the same as in FY 1987.
The personal services request is $41,610,000, the same as in
FY 1987. Budgeted amounts include $34,041,000 for regular
pay, $202,000 for other regular pay, $3,162,000 for additional
gross pay, and $4,205,000 for fringe benefits.

The 1.5 percent pay adjustment effective September 27, 1987
will be absorbed by the utility at a cost of $600,000.
The nonpersonal services request is $111,174,000 or a net
decrease of $7,863,000 from FY 1987. Budget increases total
$6,195,000. However, $14,058,000 has been reduced from the FY
1987 base for nonrecurring items. The breakdown follows:

$5,776,000 from supplies and materials, a result of
nonrecurring purchases of maintenance supplies ($217,000) and
a reduction in the cost of woodchips ($754,000) and chemicals
($4,805,000); $609,000 from energy and communications, a
result of savings in electricity and heating fuel ($606,000),
and nonrecurring telephone costs ($3,000); $4,672,000 from
other services and charges, a result of decreased cost of
fleet maintenance ($648,000), transportation of ferrous iron

($1,487,000), grit removal ($86,000), and nonrecurring
contractual services needs for repaving ($40,000), Potomac
Interceptor access roadway repair ($240,000), mechanical/
electrical equipment repairs ($1,242,000) and disposal/
replacement of PCB-contaminated equipment ($520,000);
$1,114,000 from debt service because of refinancing; and
$1,887,000 from equipment for nonrecurring equipment
purchases.
