DC Water addresses Potomac Interceptor collapse, outlines repair plan
DC Water held a public meeting in Alexandria to discuss the recent collapse of the Potomac Interceptor pipe, which released over 240 million gallons of sewage into the river. The 72-inch pipe broke near the C and O Canal in Montgomery County, causing waste to spill into the canal and eventually the Potomac River. Virginia residents expressed concerns about water quality testing, soil cleanup, and fisheries impacts. Emergency repairs were completed on March 13th, and crews are now working on long-term repairs, which could take up to ten months. Cleanup efforts are ongoing along the canal, drainage channels, and shoreline.
