The agency now called DC Water formed from the District of Columbia Water Board (1859-1872) and the District of Columbia Board of Public Works (1872-1932). Beginning in 1932, the Agency operated as the District of Columbia Department of Sanitary Engineering and constructed the first sewage treatment plant at Blue Plains. The Agency went through another transition to the District of Columbia Department of Environmental Services in 1971, then operated as the Water and Sewer Utility Administration (WASUA) under the Department of Public Works from 1985 to 1996. In 1996, the District Government initiated the creation of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC WASA), an independent authority of the District of Columbia providing services to the region....In 2010, DC WASA initiated a rebranding campaign and is now known as DC Water.
