* **Electricity & Gas:** Power is primarily supplied by Dominion Energy, with natural gas provided by Washington Gas. * **Water & Sewer:** Virginia American Water handles drinking water. Wastewater is managed by AlexRenew, which is currently undertaking a massive infrastructure project (RiverRenew) to build a deep tunnel system preventing combined sewer overflows into the Potomac River. * **Telecommunications:** The city is served by major broadband providers including Comcast, Verizon Fios, and a growing fiber footprint from providers like Ting. * **Public Works:** The city continuously invests in road maintenance, flood mitigation (particularly in flood-prone historic coastal areas), and green infrastructure.
