C&O Canal Association

Status of the repairs to the Potomac Interceptor near Pennyfield LockDC Water has completed the first major step in emergency repairs to a 175-foot section of the Potomac Interceptor near Pennyfield Lock.

After inspections found serious wear and damage, crews installed a new concrete-like geopolymer lining inside the pipe to strengthen it. This work is part of ongoing repairs to 1,700 linear feet of sewer pipe near Pennyfield Lock.

Repairing the pipe from the inside strengthens critical infrastructure, reduces disruption to nearby communities, and helps protect the Potomac River.

Crews are now preparing for the next phase of repairs, which will include installing a new pipe inside the existing one to further strengthen this critical section of the sewer line.
