DC. Sewer Program
Separates Storm and
Sanitary Systems
Completion to Reduce
Pollution Of Potomac
And Anucostiu Rivers

The District w. P. AS sewer pro-
gram for this fiscal year will COM
plete the separation Of storm water
and sanitary sewers. Works Progress
Administrator Paul Edwards said
yesterday 80,
Completion Of the program Will
mean that the storm water sewers
will carrying virtually no untreated
sewage into the Potomac and Ana
costa Rivers or their tributaries.
The sewage will be carried by the
sanitary sewers to the treatment
plant at Blue Plains.
Until a comparatively recent date
Washington was served entirely by
combined sewers but efforts to elm
mate river pollution resulted in a
study being made out of which grew
the program.
The results of the study divided
the city into two sections-one OF
which was entirely built up which
was about 40 per cent of the Dis
trict area. The other section con-
sisted of the rest of the area.
The first area runs from the Key
Bridge to the Eleventh Street Bridge
on the Anacostia as the base OF a
triangle with the apex on Western
avenue near Chevy Chase Circle.
In this area where cost of new sewer
construction would have been pro-
hibitive, interceptor sewers were run
through diverting the sanitary sew
age into mains connected with the
plant at Blue Plains but allowing
the storm water to be dumped into
the rivers. This works all right ex-
cept when there is heavy rainfall,
it was stated.
The enforcement program was
much easier in the outlying areas,
Mr.. Edwards said, and means that
Rock Greek and other small streams
will not be polluted.
Very little pollution results even
in the heavy rain periods. however,
it was stated. because the sewage
is so diluted and the river so high
that it is quickly disposed Of.

New Dam 10 Rid
Potomac River Of
Some Impurities
100000 Sewage River
Project to Help Solve
Pollution Problem

Relief from pollution flowing
down the Potomac River will be
obtained by the District of Columbia
when the s400O,go0 dam under
construction in the Savage River
Valley is completed.
Engineers reports sent TO Repre-
sentative Byron, Democrat, of Mary
land show that the increased flow of
water the dam will make available
for dry summer and fall seasons will
practically eliminate pollution of the
river between Westernfort and the
Hagerstown area The area between
those two towns emits much raw
sewage and industrial waste into the
Potomac.
The dam. which will be completed
in l943, is being built % miles SOUTH
west of Cumberland on the Savage
River. a tributary of the north
branch of the Potomac, just below
the confluence of Crabtree Creek.
Effect of the dam will be to Gre
ate storage reservoir which will
be filled during the winter months
so that the water may be discharged
during dry seasons to augment the
flow in the north branch of the
Potomac This will make an even
flow available for industry and pol
luton control.
Reports to Representative Byron
indicate that the water supply thus
made available for dry periods will
be sufficient to relieve sanitary and
stream pollution conditions.
To Help Many Towns.
1t was pointed out that the uni
form volume throughout the year
will give many communities enough
water for their sewage systems to
minimize sewage disposal problems.
Among the places which would
benefit are Cumberland, second
largest city in Maryland; Ridgely,
w. Va; Keyser. w. Va; Luke, Md: !:
Piedmont. w. Va; Bloomington and
Hagerstown.
The dam was to have been COM
pleted in April, 1912, but construc-
tion plans were upset last winter by
the worst weather in the mountains
in 20 years.
1t is now hoped the dam will be
completed in time for the reservoir
to be filled by the spring rains of
April. 1943. However. if another
serious delay occurs it might be too
late to take advantage of the rains
that year before the dry season sets
in and consequently another year
would be lost.
In view of this possibility. the
work is being pushed at top speed,
some l,150 workmen toiling in two
shifts from 5 am. to pm. during
the summer months.
To Store Big Gallonage.
When completed. the dam will
store up in the wet months $780,
100000 gallons of water-forming a
lake "a miles long, nearly 4
mile wide on an average and
in places as deep as $50 feet.
Industries along the upper Poto-
l1AdC al oOlC1y Ia llCCo Va wdICl =
Plans are being made to expand the
huge celanese rayon plant at Cum
berland, although this industry al
ready is partly dependent during the
dry months on water borrowed"
from the storage dam of the paper
mill at Luke.
The completed reservoir will have
water enough to pour $4,000 gallons
daily into the Potomac during a dry
summer and fall. This compares
with a daily flow of only 10000 to
$4,000 gallons in the Potomac during
the last week of July this year
During the drought of 1888, the daily
flow of the Potomac was only $4,000
gallons. and 5000 of these came
from the paper mill dam.
