DC Water's HQO:
A Perfect Venue For Water Startups!

For this WaterPitch! Water Startup Matching Extravaganza, we are excited to be hosted by the DC Water at their new Headquarters, HQO, in their gorgeous events space!

Perhaps, nowhere will our past and our future intersect more closely than on the banks of the Anacostia River where construction is nearly complete on a new administrative headquarters for DC Water. The new building sits atop the existing O Street Pump Station, adjacent to the historic Main Pump Station, and above massive clay sewer lines that date back more than 100 years.

At the same time, the new headquarters embraces the future in sustainable design and construction. Heat from the pumping station’s wastewater treatment operations help condition the new building; a 30,000-gallon cistern captures rainwater for reuse onsite; and tinted glass sun shades reduce energy use while maximizing daylighting and the panoramic river views.

On the Navy Yard Metro and close to Capitol Hill, HQO is easily accessible and an ideal venue for Water Innovators!
