Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Facility, Washington, DC
George Hawkins is about to step down as General Manager of the DC Water and Sewer Authority, a position he’s held for the past eight years. We start with a conversation about why some District residents and institutions are facing very high water bills because of a fee associated with stormwater management, and what can be done about it. Then we host an exit interview with George Hawkins about his tenure at DC Water and what the biggest challenges are to DC’s water system moving forward.
