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 Waterside Events space!
Presenters will present in the HQO Board Room, with Startup Exhibits in the Atrium and side rooms available for Clinics, Media, and Meetings to seal the deal!
HQO sits on the banks of the restored Anacostia River, between Nationals Ballpark and the new Capital Waterfront Park. DC Water's new administrative headquarters for DC Water 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.
Walk a block up to New Jersey and you have a clear view of the Capitol Building (where we'll head Thursday Morning for our Briefing).
This 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!
