There was a collapse of a very large pipeline, and it runs along a highway, a parkway, just off the Beltway in Maryland.

It's 54 miles long.

It's a sewer line.

It's about 60 years old, and it carries up to 60 million gallons of wastewater daily from Virginia, Maryland, to the wastewater treatment plant in D.C., where it's treated.

Washington is the best at playing the blame game.

So every agency is at the table, we've been told, and is working to try to figure it out.

They've been able to stem the spill so that it's not overflowing at the rate that it was.

The Virginia Department of Health, I talked to them this week.

D.C.

is an active town.

People like to be outside.

Boating, fishing on the river is popular.

So out of an abundance of caution, they did issue a recreational advisory to stay off the Potomac.

Do not boat, do not fish.
