Mystery Contaminant: What’s Really Behind the Potomac’s Massive Sewage Surge?
Isn’t it just classic Washington, D.C.? You wait all year for some political scandal, and instead, you get 240 million gallons of raw sewage gushing into the Potomac—honestly, if the river could run for Congress, it’d already have a campaign slogan. Pause and ask yourself: is this a new low or have we, as a society, simply reached the natural endpoint when our capital’s most iconic waterway is now, for all intents and purposes, a latte with extra human waste? Suddenly, “drain the swamp” doesn’t sound like rhetoric—it’s basic public health advice . It’s moments like these I wonder what founding fathers would say if they saw this mess. Would Jefferson just quietly backstroke away? Either way, if you thought the Potomac boat tours were grim before, strap in—2025’s setting a new bar. So what do you think: environmental catastrophe, political metaphor… or just another Tuesday in the nation’s capital? LEARN MORE
The Potomac River, a waterway that winds through the nation’s capital, is in the midst of an ecological crisis after one of the largest sewage spills in U.S. history, with over 240 million gallons of raw human waste threatening the health of the river and the safety of those who depend on it. What do you think?
