Promptness of FY 2002 Second Quarter DoD Payments to the US Treasury for District of Columbia Water and Sewer Services
Abstract
This audit was required by Public Law 106-554, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001. Public Law 106-554 requires the inspector general of each Federal agency that receives water and sewer services from the District of Columbia to report to the Congressional Appropriations Committees on the promptness of payments within 15 days of the start of each quarter. This report covers FY 2002 second quarter payments and is one in a series of reports discussing the promptness and completeness of DoD payments to the U.S. Treasury for District of Columbia water and sewer services. The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority. The District of Columbia supplies both water and sewer services to Federal agencies and DoD Components within the National Capital Region. Since October 1996, the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) has been responsible for delivery of water and sewer services to DoD Components. WASA provides meter readings and annual estimated billings to the U.S. Treasury for water and sewer services provided to the Federal agencies, including DoD Components. U.S. Treasury Responsibility. Under the District of Columbia Public Works Act of 1954, the Federal Government was to receive water and sewer services from the District of Columbia, and the District of Columbia was paid with an annual lump sum in accordance with the District of Columbia Appropriations Act. The District of Columbia Appropriations Act of 1990 (Public Law 101- 168) changed the payment process by designating the U.S. Treasury as the collection agent for the Federal agencies' water and sewer payments, with the U.S. Treasury remitting a single payment to the District of Columbia. Public Law 106-554 amends the process used by the Federal agencies to make payments to the U.S. Treasury.
