Several neighborhood blogs are posting information about the D.C. Water and Sewer Authority’s upcoming public meetings to discuss a proposed 8.5 percent rate increase to city water and sewer rates.

WASA is one of the city’s most troubled agencies, having come under fire many times in recent years, notably for water pressure and communication problems that may have hampered firefighters during an apartment fire in Adams Morgan, elevated lead and toxic chlorine levels in the city’s drinking water, and failing to maintain the District’s fire hydrants.

A full list of scheduled meetings and public hearings on WASA’s proposed rate increase is below the jump.
