Starting in March 2022, the signs above greeted people at the Soapstone Valley trailhead on Albemarle Street. DC Water closed the park for a sewer rehabilitation and stream restoration project that it initially expected to last one and a half years.
Four years later, the project is complete, and DC Water is throwing a party on Saturday, May 30 to mark the occasion.
The agency says it’s a “thank you” to D.C. officials, partner agencies and this community “for your patience, cooperation and collaboration with us throughout this long-anticipated but extensive project to upgrade your local sewer systems infrastructure and help restore a portion of the park to its original beauty.”
The party will be held at 32nd Street and Albemarle between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. There will be food, and fun activities for kids. RSVP at events@dcwater.com.
