The Potomac Interceptor, which travels through Cabin John along the canal, is constructed of reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), ranging from 72 to 96 inches in diameter and terminates at the Blue Plains treatment plant. Perhaps the most interesting new information shared was regarding the sewer rehab project recently initiated in Cabin John and beyond. We will get more information on this project and pass that along to the CJCA. This is where the Potomac Interceptor, the main sewer, and the sewer pipe coming down Cabin John Creek merge. According to DC Water, WSSC is replacing metering-related equipment. The work being conducted now at the Cabin John Creek underpass and wooden footbridge over the canal is WSSC work (there was some confusion regarding which utility was responsible for this current work, as the WSSC sent the CJCA to DC Water).

The meeting also spawned follow-on activities, including sending invitations to both the WSSC and the NPS to attend an upcoming meeting. FebruAt the January CJCA meeting, what was meant to be a discussion on the sewer bypass work happening where the C&O Canal intersects with Cabin John Creek at the bottom of the path from the one-lane bridge morphed into a productive and interesting conversation on a number of topics related to the canal, the sewer system, and related topics.Ī number of representatives from DC Water and from the National Park Service joined virtually-we are grateful for their time and the information they shared.
