PEPCO: Public Service Commission Community Hearings for Pepco’s Request for $42.1 Million

Public Service Commission is hosting a Ward 5 Community meeting to discuss Pepco’s request for $42.1 Million dollars (Public Service Commission Dockets Formal Case No. 1087).  On July 8, 2011, Pepco filed an Application for a rate increase with the D.C. Public Service Commission requesting an additional $42.1 million in distribution rates.

Ward 5 Meeting Details

Bethesda Baptist Church
1808 Capitol Ave, NE
Monday, November 21, 2011, 6:30 p.m.

Attendance is not limited to the ward in which you reside in. Come “Let Your Voice Be Heard” at the meeting that is the most convenient for you.


OPC’s Position on the case:

Reliability is vital! Consumers are entitled to reliable service. Before any rate increase is approved, all reliability projects must be carefully designed and thoroughly analyzed to ensure they deliver a marked improvement in the quality and reliability of Pepco’s service.
OPC requested the Commission dismiss Pepco’s rate case in its entirety and require the company to demonstrate it is providing reliable service as a basic condition of its regulatory obligation to provide, just and reasonable utility service. Alternatively, as a minimum requirement:
 The Commission should designate reliability as an issue in this case and require Pepco to submit detailed testimony that supports all projects designed to improve reliability.
 The Commission should require Pepco to prove that the consumer benefits of the smart grid outweigh the cost of the deployment.
 Pepco’s new proposals to change the Commission’s review of future rate cases should be summarily rejected in this proceeding.

The Commission must conduct a thorough review and scrutiny of Pepco’s cost of service adjustments and return on equity (profit) proposals, in light of the fact that this is Pepco’s third Application for rate relief in 4 years while service continues to deteriorate.

Consumers must have a voice in this case. These are your dollars!

Stay up to date with the case by visiting OPC’s website: www.opc-dc.gov

The Commission’s decision is expected in the Spring of 2012.

Those who wish to testify at the community hearings should contact the Commission Secretary at (202) 626-5100 by the close of business three (3) business days prior to the date of the hearing.
Representatives of organizations shall be permitted a maximum of five (5) minutes for oral presentations.
Individuals shall be permitted a maximum of three( 3) minutes for oral presentations. If an organization or an individual is unable to offer comments at the community hearings, written statements
maybe submitted to the

WMATA - Metro launches SmarTrip® Online Reload

News Release

For immediate release: September 22, 2011

Metro launches SmarTrip® Online Reload Customers can now add value online

Metro General Manager and CEO Richard Sarles today announced the launch of a feature customers have requested for years: the ability to add value to a SmarTrip card from the convenience of their computer.

“Customers can now go online rather than getting in line,” said Sarles. “This is the latest—but certainly not the last—example of how we are going to use technology to improve our customers’ travel experience.”

The SmarTrip Online Reload feature makes it more convenient for riders to manage their SmarTrip card balances and avoid lines at fare machines. Metro officially launched the feature today following a successful pilot program that included 150,000 customers.

Any customer with a registered SmarTrip card can load value simply by logging onto their SmarTrip account on Metro’s website, smartrip.wmata.com, and clicking on the “add value” link. The system accepts all major credit cards.

Because SmarTrip fare value is stored on the card, rather than in a central computer, customers must complete their transaction by touching their card to a target, such as a Metrorail faregate, vending machine or bus farebox. Customers should allow up to one business day for value to be transferred to their card when touching a rail faregate or vending machine and up to three business days at a bus farebox.

To use the online reload feature, customers must have a registered SmarTrip card and online account. The feature currently works only on SmarTripcards; the ability to add value to MTA CharmCard® will be added at a later date.

A future upgrade will allow customers to load value on their card automatically whenever their balance drops below a specified amount.

Customers with questions about the new online reload feature can contact the SmarTrip Regional Customer Service Center at 1-888-762-7874.

Mayor Vincent C. Gray has declared a State of Emergency in the District of Columbia and is urging residents to take the necessary precautions to prepare for the effects of Hurricane Irene.

The storm is expected to bring heavy rain, flash floods, coastal and estuary flooding, high winds and the threat of tornadoes to the area. The city is getting ready for the impending storm and placing agencies on alert.

“While we cannot predict with certainty the path of the hurricane, residents must be ready,” said Mayor Gray. “That means residents need to have a plan that they can activate. If they do not have a plan, they can go to hsema.dc.gov to learn what is needed. These storms can cause power outages that may last through several days. Residents should have an adequate supply of medications, infant formula, water, fresh batteries and other essentials.”

The District’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will begin operating around the clock at 6 am on Saturday, August 27. Interagency personnel will gather at the EOC, at the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency’s headquarters on Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE, to monitor conditions and coordinate the District government’s response to the storm.

Sandbags Available 8/27 at Noon

The Department of Public Works is assisting residents with preparing their homes to withstand flooding by distributing five sandbags per household beginning at noon, Saturday, August 27, at RFK Stadium, Lot 7. DPW staff will be on hand to direct residents to the distribution point. Distribution is on a first-come, first-served basis, and will continue until the supply is exhausted. Residents will be asked to show DC identification.

Transportation

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) are working to ensure the safety of the traveling public from potential storm-related impacts.
WMATA is taking steps in advance to prevent service disruptions. Specifically:

• Crews have placed more than 2,000 sandbags around the escalators at Metrorail stations that have a history of flooding issues.
• All drainage pumping stations are being checked in advance of the storm and will be monitored throughout the weekend.
• Plant maintenance staff is clearing drainage areas near stations and yards.
• Additional support personnel have been scheduled to be on duty throughout the weekend to respond to any situations that may arise.
• Chainsaws are being deployed in Metro motor vehicles for use in the event of downed trees.

“We’re putting all of our resources in place to address any issues that arise out of the extreme weather conditions this weekend,” said Metro General Manager and CEO Richard Sarles. “We will be updating our customers through our website, Twitter, email alerts and the media.”

Metro will provide service information throughout the storm online at wmata.com and via Twitter@wmata. Metrorail customers may also sign up for Metro alerts via e-mail by visiting wmata.com or tune to broadcast traffic reports for service information.
Given the probability of severe winds and the potential for flooding DDOT’s active construction, project worksites are being secured to prevent damage. DDOT has also directed permit holders working in public space to take measures to ensure their work zones are secured. All work in the right of way, with the exception of emergency repairs, will be suspended at the close of business today (Friday, August 26).
In addition:

• Drainage ways in flood-prone areas are being cleared and actively monitored to prevent flooding issues.
• Generators are being deployed city-wide to provide backup power for traffic signals.
• The Urban Forestry Administration is proactively pruning trees along some critical roadways.
• DDOT personnel and contractors will be on call throughout the weekend to clear downed trees and debris.
• DDOT is coordinating emergency evacuation preparedness efforts with HSEMA, U.S. DOT, VDOT and MDOT and will continue to track the weather conditions through the weekend.

DDOT will be providing critical traffic-related and emergency information on a real time basis via Twitter.com/ddotdc. Residents are strongly urged to avoid traveling during the storm if possible. High winds could topple trees and pose a hazard to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

If weather conditions become unsafe, transit services may be impacted or suspended during the storm. For updates please use the following resources:

DC Water
DC Water facilities are equipped to withstand weather-related events, and water service interruptions are not anticipated during the hurricane. This includes during power outages. In an effort to minimize water damage, DC Water has checked and cleared storm drains in all areas at risk for flooding.

DC Water crews will be stationed throughout the District to monitor hurricane impacts and respond to emergencies. The 24-Hour Command Center will operate in a location with backup power and available for emergency response. The Washington Aqueduct, responsible for treating District drinking water, is working closely with DC Water to monitor water treatment plants and the distribution system.

DC Water encourages residents to prepare for Hurricane Irene:

• Collect cold tap water for storage – one gallon per person (or pet) per day. Store water in a cool environment. Bottled water is unnecessary and most stores are sold out after so many people paid more than a $1 per gallon. Turn on the tap – it’s a penny per gallon.
• Consider freezing a few jugs, and place these in the fridge during a power outage to keep food cold.
• Minimize flooding risks – clear gutters and downspouts.
• Store unscented liquid household chlorine bleach to disinfect water if service is interrupted and for general cleaning and sanitizing.
• Help DC Water after the storm - safely remove debris blocking storm drains or call 202- 612-3400 for major blockage.

Residents should report water emergencies and flooding to the 24-Hour Command Center at 202-612-3400.

For more information, visit www.dcwater.com/emergencies or contact DC Water Customer Service at 202-354-3600 and the 24-Hour Command Center at 202-612-3400.

Citizens are asked to call 311 to report any downed trees or branches in the public space and to provide as much detail as possible

Emergency Information Resources:
Emergency preparedness information is available at 72hours.dc.gov and at HSEMA Hurricane Fact Sheet*. Members of the public are also encouraged to sign up to receive updates on severe weather, traffic and incidents via email and/or text message from ALERT DC at https://textalert.ema.dc.gov/. Residents can also monitor cable Channel 16 in the District for storm updates.

Detailed information about traffic evacuation routes and transportation tips for an emergency incident are available online at ddot.dc.gov.

Residents should report water emergencies and flooding to the 24-Hour Command Center at 202-612-3400.

Second CUA Community Outreach Workshop Aug 11 at 7pm

Office of Public Affairs

Washington, DC 20064

July 28, 2011

On behalf of The Catholic University of America, I am writing to invite you to attend the second community outreach workshop on the University’s process to undertake a comprehensive revision of its Campus Master Plan.

The workshop will be held on Thursday, August 11, from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center Great Room. All members of the Brookland community are invited to participate.

The agenda of the workshop will include a recap of the first community workshop on July 20, an update of the Master Plan process, a review of Master Plan key issues and concepts, and a discussion with community members in attendance.

Catholic University President John Garvey and other University officials will be in attendance. Representatives from Ayers Saint Gross, the architectural consultant that the University has engaged for the Campus Master Plan process, will lead the workshop.

The purpose of the Master Plan is to articulate how the campus’s physical infrastructure may be modified to support the future vision of the University. It has two components: academic and physical plant. The academic component connects programming plans with their associated effect on facilities.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided at the workshop.

In order for the organizers of the workshop to plan appropriately, all members of the Brookland community wishing to attend are asked to R.s.v.p. no later than Wednesday, August 10. Please send an e-mail to https://mail.dc.gov/owa/redir.aspx?C=9741d6aff54e495aaa40b6bd474c0721&URL=mailto%3acua-public-affairs%40cua.edu or call 202-319-5600.
