Our first river clean-up of the year is this Saturday. See you at the boat ramp. 10am. Others at the grill after!

Raleigh. Sewage. Raw. Direct. #ncpol https://t.co/780gXA8aI5

Not NC - where we focus - but remarkable nonetheless. #ncpol

The failure in a section of a 72-inch sewer pipe in MD, has release of close to a billion gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac river just inside the Beltway

It’s now considered the LARGEST spill of wastewater in U.S. history

MD & VA Dems haven’t said a word.

[WaterWatchNC 🌎 @waterwatchnc]

The largest spill ever.

[WTOP @WTOP]

The failure in the Potomac Interceptor has been named the largest spill of wastewater in U.S. history.

@calleymeans Definitely - anyone who questions these thousands of correlations (see: https://t.co/csVq9NKMYZ) ignores they are all true, valid and worthy of government action.

[WaterWatchNC 🌎 @waterwatchnc]

@calleymeans Definitely. No need to investigate or understand other possible factors.

Life-threatening flooding is occurring in Boone and emergency personnel are conducting multiple evacuations in flooded areas. Boone Emergency Coordinator Matt Krause said community members should shelter in place.

The Watauga River is currently reading more than 13 feet at Sugar Grove. Moderate flooding begins at 16 feet and major flooding begins at 20 feet. Pictured below is the baseball field across from the Watauga Rec Center on State Farm Road.

Not the Seine - but the Tar. Not $1.5 billion in a failed cleanup - but 1.7 million gallons in our water. #ncpol #ncga https://t.co/SLZ6jSXLRP

Water is precious and life-giving. It is also polluted by humans across the planet. Innovative solutions are still needed. Groups like @foodandwater & @Waterkeeper, and funders like @11thhourproject & @open_phil, should use the water debacle of #Paris2024 as a call to action.

[WaterWatchNC 🌎 @waterwatchnc]

We care deeply about water quality - but the lesson of #Paris2024 is important. A total of $1.5 billion was spent to clean up the Seine. https://t.co/o2y5cymlyy

A $1.5 billion effort to showcase #París2024 went down the drain. https://t.co/c0SsRazH1n

That’s Chapel Hill at top left and that’s the top of Jordan Lake at right. What do you see? #ncpol #ncga
