Access the online application here, or print out a paper version to submit via mail.

DC Water has a list of Approved Contractors, including Ben's Plumbing, who can complete LPRAP projects. Contact us to schedule a free estimate for your project with Ben. During your estimate visit, Ben will take measurements to determine how much pipe needs replacement, photo-document his measurements for DC Water, and provide you with a written estimate for your project.
If you accept Ben's estimate for your project, you'll then enter the permitting stage. First, we'll put together a cost proposal application for DC Water, and send it to you for electronic signature. Once you sign the document, we'll submit it to DC Water on your behalf. LPRAP cost proposals are normally approved within a week. Once approved, you'll receive an official benefit confirmation letter detailing the project costs. We then acquire the necessary parking and construction permits - this process normally takes 4 - 6 weeks.
Once all the permits are secure, we'll reach out to you to schedule your project!
Your pipe replacement will likely take one day to complete. Ben and his crew will arrive around 8am, and will work until late afternoon. You can expect about one hour mid-day without water. You can expect Ben to provide a professional job, including restoration of dig site.
If you are approved at 50% (capped at $2500), you'll receive an invoice on the day of service for your portion, which can be paid electronically. We accept all major credit cards and have financing available.
DC Water requires us to complete a reimbursement request for your project. We'll send you a copy of our payment request to electronically sign approximately one week after your project. Once you sign this document, DC Water will pay us, and your project is complete!
