Second Meeting Scheduled in Bethesda; Community Forum in Alexandria Next Week

As DC Water nears completion of emergency repairs on the Potomac Interceptor sewer line, we remain committed to transparent communication and partnership with our community. Next week, two meetings are scheduled on March 18, in Bethesda, MD and March 19, in Alexandria, VA to hear from the community and provide informational updates on the repair and environmental rehabilitation.

On January 19, a section of the Potomac Interceptor collapsed in Cabin John, MD along Clara Barton Parkway and the C & O Canal National Historical Park. DC Water has worked around the clock to contain the sewer overflows, complete urgent repairs and address environmental impacts.

DC Water invites concerned residents to attend the upcoming community meetings as part of an ongoing dialogue and to gather feedback. Both meetings will include an open-house format, with a shortened presentation to allow more time for Q&A and direct engagement with subject-matter experts stationed at information tables.
