National Park Service and DC Water Announce Parking Impacts at Old Angler’s Inn

June 09, 2011

(Washington, DC) - The District of Columbia Water and
Sewer Authority (DC Water) continues construction activities under its Potomac Interceptor-Long Term Odor Abatement Project near the Old Angler’s Inn in Potomac, Maryland.

On Friday, June 10, 2011, crews will be working in the parking lot near the old Angler’s Inn, located at 10801 MacArthur Boulevard.

Between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., crews will perform permanent reconfiguration of the existing jersey barriers in the parking lot to maximize parking while protecting the Washington Aqueduct’s water conduit and improving safety conditions throughout the remainder of the project.

Impacts:

During work hours, parking on the concrete slabs on grade in the middle parking lot will be restricted, as follows:

• “No parking” signs will be posted on site, and National Capital Park Police will also be stationed near the parking lot area to further reinforce this restriction.

• Vehicles parked on or within twenty (20) feet of the concrete slabs will be towed at the owner’s expense.

DC Water’s Potomac Interceptor-Long Term Odor Abatement Project is part of a region wide effort to improve the quality and durability of sewers throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area. The Old Angler’s Inn will be one of six facilities constructed throughout the District, Montgomery, Fairfax and Loudoun counties that will work as a system in collectively helping to reduce odors emitting from the Potomac Interceptor Sewer, as well as prolong the life of the pipe.
