Potomac interceptor goes down to stay
District of Columbia's 43-mi Potomac Interceptor Sewer is designed to stay down not only under present conditions but also if prospective dam construction along route puts other sections under water; where pipe may be submerged now or later, measures to prevent floating were taken; river crossings are completely encased in additional concrete and other sections likely to be under water call for special non-float pipe, with walls up to 4 in. thicker than standard; interceptor includes 34-mi of 24- to 84-in. pipe and 9-mi of 42- to 84-in. concrete-lined tunnel.
