United StatesMontgomery County has lifted its final health advisory for the Potomac River following a major sewage spill that occurred over six months ago. The decision came after sediment tests conducted by the Maryland Department of Environment confirmed that bacterial levels had dropped to a safe level. The advisory, which was the last remaining from January's historic sewage spill, allowed recreational activities along specific sections of the river. The spill, caused by a ruptured sewage line, released nearly 250 million gallons of untreated wastewater containing harmful bacteria such as E. Coli, MRSA, and Staphylococcus aureus. While no drinking water was affected, recreational use was halted for weeks. Legal action has since been initiated by federal and state authorities against DC Water, the utility responsible for managing the affected sewer system.
