DC lifts recreational advisory for Potomac River

DC has lifted its recreational advisory for the Potomac River after a large sewage spill earlier this year, citing consistent water quality test results showing acceptable bacterial levels. Officials say ongoing monitoring will continue to ensure safety for swimmers and boaters.

The advisory was put in place following the spill, which prompted concerns about potential health risks from member bacteria and other contaminants. With the latest testing indicating safe levels, officials encouraged residents to resume normal activities along the river.
