💨 Abstract

Water is preparing to repair a 200-foot crack in an old brick-lined sewer pipe near Rock Creek, Northwest. The pipe, part of the Rock Creek Main Interceptor, handles up to 100 million gallons of wastewater and stormwater daily. Engineers are diverting the flow to assess the damage and plan repairs. The aged combined sewer system is being proactively inspected and upgraded, with new tunnels to prevent flooding and overflows.
