It's the free ground water sewage that those high rises' garages get.

Most of those 2-story underground garages in the Old City have to be sump-pumped almost continuously to keep dry. Washington was a swamp and marsh after all. Sewage is measured by the amount of water coming in, not separately. An attempt to bill commercial buildings for sewage for ground water pumping was overturned by the DC Council ten years ago.

Those underground garages should be paying for the huge amount of ground water they are over-flowing the system with. It's not fair to make the citizens pay for it.
