Partial Bypass Expected to Begin as Early as This Weekend
DC Water and its contractor continue to make progress to contain the sewer overflow from a collapsed section of the Potomac Interceptor (PI), a major sewer line along Clara Barton Parkway near 495 in Montgomery County, MD. As part of that work, crews today are mobilizing equipment, clearing brush and debris, and installing pipes in preparation to bypass the flow around the damaged section of sewer line.
