1. Introduction: The Washington Aqueduct (WA), a division of the Baltimore District United States Army Corps of Engineers, p roduces drinking water for over one million citizens living, working, and visiting in the District of Columbia, Arlington County, Virginia, and the City of Falls Church, Virginia, and its service area. WA has the responsibility to provide safe, reliable, cost-effective drinking water 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Aqueduct is a federally-owned and operated public water supply agency that produces an average of 180 million gallons of water per day at two treatment plants located in the District of Columbia. All funding for operations, maintenance, and capital improvements comes from revenue generated by selling drinking water to the three jurisdictions.
The Washington Aqueduct is a critical infrastructure that operates two water treatment plants (WTPs), the Dalecarlia WTP and the McMillan WTP. Located at the Dalecarlia WTP is the WA Laboratory. The primary mission of the WA Laboratory is to provide quality analytical support services to the Washington Aqueduct and its wholesale customers in order to ensure the safety and quality of the drinking water according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The WA Laboratory also provides support services to both WA WTPs for monitoring compliance according to numerous National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements under the Clean Water Act (CWA). As a service, the WA Laboratory performs legally-required drinking water compliance testing in accordance with local, state, and federal statutes. Extensive testing includes various chemical, biological, radiological, and other required parameters. The Washington Aqueduct Laboratory routinely analyzes process control, customer compliance, and research water samples. Occasionally, emergency water sample testing is required. In accordance with its mission, the Washington Aqueduct Laboratory is required to maintain a continuous state of readiness for water sample analysis. Any testing not performed in-house is sub-contracted off-site to a commercial laboratory. These services will bolster the capability, resiliency, and redundancy of the Washington Aqueduct’s water quality monitoring program.
