Hundreds of millions of gallons of human waste have leaked into the Potomac River after an underground sewage line burst in January.
A Washington D.C. utility said that on Jan. 19, a sewage line burst in the Potomac Interceptor along the Clara Barton Parkway at the 495 interchange and C and O Canal National Historical Park.
The D.C. water utility estimated in a Feb. 6 press release, based on monitoring collection data, that about 243 million gallons of wastewater had overflowed from the collapse site. Roughly 194 million gallons of that happened in the first five days before bypass pumping reduced the overflow.
Major news networks won’t cover what has become the largest human waste spill in U.S. history. What’s worse is that this mess likely won’t be cleaned for about nine months, Townhall reported.
