Officials from DC Water and the District will host the first of eight town hall meetings to answer questions and hear from the public Tuesday night.
Likely on the agenda: Skyrocketing water bills and the controversial Clean Rivers fee, which has been the subject of a series of News4 I-Team investigations.
DC Water also proposed raising the sewer rate customers pay by 13 percent next year.
The DC Water Board will hold a formal public hearing on that in May, but the utility has coordinated with councilmembers to hold a town hall meeting in each ward during the next few weeks.
The first meeting is in Ward 2 at the School Without Walls at Francis Stevens on N Street in Northwest.
The town halls are scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
