Shit Still Don't Flow Uphill

It's a big day in news from the Potomac Interceptor sewage spill:

The Balmer Banner, How the sewer line collapse unfolded and spread millions of gallons of wastewater into the Potomac River

NBC 4, Potomac sewage spill: Federal government not paying for all of repairs "D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said she expected the federal government to reimburse 100% of repair costs. But the Army Corps of Engineers said the government will fund a portion. News4’s Mark Segraves reports." Why would she expect the feds to pay the whole thing?

WTOP, Who foots the $20M bill of the Potomac River sewage cleanup, repairs?.  "Earlier this week, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser submitted a Presidential Emergency Disaster Declaration request, seeking full reimbursement for costs incurred by both D.C. and D.C. Water. “We expect 100% reimbursement,” Bowser said. But D.C. Water’s facilities, including the Potomac Interceptor, are funded through an intermunicipal agreement, or IMA. Maryland and Virginia would be on the hook for more than 50% of the cost, per the agreement. So will the federal government approve D.C.’s request? And if so, will Maryland and Virginia’s share be covered too?"

ABC 7, DC Water, Va. and Md. health officials provide next steps in sewage spill repairs. Word salad.

WBOC, MD officials: Chesapeake Bay oysters remain safe following Potomac River sewage spill. I'm still not going to eat oysters from north of the 301 bridge.

WaPoo, A Potomac island was their haven. A sewage spill made it unreachable. What, did they swim?
