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.

Starting later this week, DC Water will conduct an aerial drone assessment along the 54-mile Potomac Interceptor (PI) to evaluate current site conditions and better understand the changing landscape and development along the Potomac Interceptor alignment, including areas where there may be rocks or boulders that need further on the ground inspections.

DC Water has completed sludge removal on a section of the C & O Canal between locks 13 and 14, which was used as a bypass to divert wastewater around the collapsed section of the Potomac Interceptor and back into the pipe further downstream. Crews are now constructing an access bridge to this section of the canal to allow soil removal to begin.

Spring cleaning isn’t just for closets and cabinets. DC Water’s system gets a refresh too!

Starting March 23, DC Water will begin work that helps maintain more than 1,300 miles of water lines across the District. During this time, the disinfectant used in drinking water will temporarily switch from chloramine to chlorine through May 4. This switch helps support overall water quality throughout the year.
