District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority Board of Directors Dr. Alexander McPhail Confirmation Resolution of 2025

This resolution confirms Mayor Bowser's appointment of Dr. Alexander McPhail to the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) Board of Directors. It fills a vacant seat previously held by Dr. Joe Leonard, with McPhail serving as an alternate District resident member for the remainder of the unexpired term ending September 12, 2028. The resolution follows standard confirmation procedures under DC law (D.C. Code § 34-2202.04) and does not create new policy or affect broader water services. It is a routine procedural step to formalize an existing appointment.

Scope change

The scope of the bill itself (confirming Dr. McPhail's appointment) remains unchanged, but the document type shifted from a nomination packet to a finalized legislative record.

Added the official resolution citation number (26-142) and the enrollment date (July 1, 2025) to formalize the document.
