DC Water, National Park Service, Community Groups Celebrate Fresh Air Along Potomac Interceptor
Its been more than a decade in the making but the day has finally arrived. Join DC Water, the National Park Service and various community groups as they cut the ribbon on a series of odor scrubbing facilities that keep the air fresh along the Potomac Interceptor Sewer and C&O Canal. The facilities are enabling DC Water to remove the majority of the vents along the Potomac Interceptor that vent sewer gases to the air. Already, half the vents have been closed.
Visuals include new facilities, a ribbon-cutting and the scenic C&O Canal.
