A significant sewage spill in the Potomac River has raised health concerns and prompted federal authorities to intervene. President Trump has directed FEMA to take a key role in managing the cleanup efforts amid criticisms of Maryland Governor Moore. The spill, one of the largest municipal wastewater incidents in U.S. history, has led to advisories urging the public to avoid contact with the contaminated water. DC Water reports ongoing risks and the possibility of a lengthy cleanup, with estimates suggesting repairs could take months. Local lawmakers are also pressing for action regarding aging wastewater infrastructure, as the environmental impact on river-dependent industries becomes increasingly concerning.
