Montgomery Co. lifts all remaining health advisories for Potomac River shoreline related to sewage spill

Montgomery County, Maryland, lifted all health advisories for the Potomac River shoreline and sediment following the failure of the Potomac Interceptor, which caused a sewage spill. Sediment tests confirmed bacterial levels have returned to acceptable levels, allowing recreational use to resume, though officials still advise against ingesting river water and caution about potential bacteria surges after heavy rain.
