Not even in Washington D.C, WTOP News Sewer line collapse triggers wastewater spill into C&O Canal near Clara Barton Parkway
D.C. Water crews are racing to build an emergency bypass system after a major section of a sewer line collapsed late Monday along Clara Barton Parkway in Montgomery County, triggering a significant sanitary sewer overflow into the C&O Canal National Historical Park.That's a lot of shit.
D.C. Water and contractors are working to build a bypass system to carry 60 million gallons of wastewater daily from areas in Virginia out to Dulles as well as Montgomery County to the Blue Plains treatment plant.
The collapse involves a 72-inch section of the Potomac Interceptor, a 54-mile sewer line that carries roughly 60 million gallons of wastewater a day from communities near Dulles International Airport, Loudoun and Fairfax counties, the towns of Vienna and Herndon, and parts of Montgomery County, to the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment.
