DC Water's Industrial Pretreatment Program, established in 1986, is dedicated to reducing pollutants from businesses and industries before they enter the sanitary sewer system in Washington, DC. The program, mandated by the Clean Water Act, aims to protect water quality in the Potomac River and ensure compliance with discharge regulations.
DC Water issues wastewater permits, conducts facility inspections, and collaborates with industrial users to maintain environmental standards. Neighboring jurisdictions' industrial users must also adhere to their own pretreatment programs in addition to DC Water's regulations.
