Major Sewage Spill into the Potomac River

You may have heard recent news about a major sewage spill into the Potomac River following the collapse of a large sewer line near Washington, D.C. Reports estimate hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage have entered the river, and independent water sampling has shown E. coli bacteria at levels dramatically above public health safety limits in multiple areas of the river.
Although city authorities say drinking water supplies have not been affected, high levels of E. coli and other contaminants pose a risk if river or well water is used for irrigation, livestock, recreation, or even household purposes without proper testing.
