POTOMAC SUBMERGED CHANNEL INTAKE STUDY

Working to ensure continued superior water quality, WSSC is conducting a feasibility study of a submerged Potomac River intake. The submerged intake would provide access to a cleaner, safer, more stable raw water supply, reduce operational costs and allow WSSC to continue to meet increasingly stringent U.S. EPA requirements. The study began in summer 2003 and should be complete in spring 2006, and will address possible locations, construction methods, costs, environmental impacts & mitigation options and outreach activities.
