Water shortage delayed in Washington area despite rains
The Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin says July rains postponed but did not end a looming water shortage. Flow once dropped to 388 million gallons daily in 1966 while peak demand neared 439 million. A new Chain Bridge pumping station and a pilot estuary plant are planned to boost supply, but estuary water quality remains a concern. The Bloomington reservoir, due 1980, adds 125 million gallons daily, though insufficient to close the gap between use and supply.
