Crews are making steady progress on the Potomac Interceptor repairs. The rock and debris dam has been cleared, but some large boulders remain in other areas of the pipe and may require additional excavation to remove. To reach and remove this remaining material, crews continue clearing soil, muck, and debris around the damaged pipe section. No overflows have entered the Potomac River in 18 days, with the last release occurring on February 8. Work also continues upstream and downstream of the failure as crews prepare the pipe for repair. Once all material is cleared, the pipe will be pressure washed and readied for geopolymer application. Geopolymer lining could begin as early as next week. Emergency repairs remain on track for completion around mid-March. Daily water quality sampling continues. 🔗 https://www.dcwater.com/about-dc-water/media/news/update-cleaning-continues-preparation-emergency-repairs-damaged-potomac
