[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

700,000 Americans live in Washington, DC, in the shadow of the Capitol, yet don't have full access to American democracy.
‌
10 years ago today, DC residents voted overwhelmingly in support of DC statehood. An important milestone in our ongoing fight for full representation.
‌
It was clear then and it’s clear now: DC should be the 51st state.

Data centers are powering more of our daily lives, but what does their growth mean for the District’s energy use, utilities, and communities? We’re joining @dcpl and @DCOPC this week for a community forum and panel discussion (featuring our Interim Chairman Ted Trabue) at the MLK Library to explore the impact of these facilities and answer your questions.

[DC Water @dcwater]

Before you log off for the weekend, take a few minutes to check your home for leaks. A dripping faucet or running toilet can waste water and add to your bill.

Our free Residential Leak Assessment & Repair Program may be able to help: https://t.co/2XUMvJMOqI

@DCOPC welcomes the new Infrastructure Academy @ Spingarn. It was a decade ago during the Pepco-Exelon merger negotiations and settlement that @DCOPC first proposed an academy as part of the community benefits. Congratulations Mayor Bowser for making it a reality.

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

This week, we opened the new DC Infrastructure Academy at the historic Spingarn High School in Ward 5.

This new location, which features an automotive lab, new instructional and training rooms, a Pepco training yard, and flexible outdoor work areas, will allow us to expand opportunities.
