these have to resident largemouths I think. DC WASA is the process of a huge overhaul to its sewer system. They are trying to lower the overflow by a drastic amount which would be awesome. The overflow occurs when significant rain/snow goes down stormdrains and overwhelms the system. This happens about 60 times a year. During these events the water level is too much for the system and the overflow has to go to the river or flood the streets/back up into houses. Currently this happens about 60 times a year and WASA's trying to reduce it 2 times a year in the next ten years which would be pretty good. It sucks that these overflows occur but the alternative is to have the storm drains go directly to the river which would put all the petroleum runoff in the water as well as ice melting chemical and all the other crap every time it rains. So hopefully the new changes will improve things.
