Accelerating Flood Relief
To expedite flood relief in two neighborhoods, the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority accelerated the design and construction of the approximately 2,700 ft long First Street Tunnel, which can store up to 9 million gallons of stormwater and wastewater that otherwise would overwhelm the city's combined sewer system. To be completed this month, construction of the tunnel and its appurtenant facilities included ground freezing in several locations to minimize untoward effects on the dense urban neighborhood above.
