Which is why the new sewers should be paid for by DC Water customers and not VA/MD governments. I realize pollution from VA/MD is part of the reason the sewer upgrades are needed, but assuming everyone is acting in accordance with all environmental regulations, then the problem is DC Water's. If the environmental regulations are not adequate or not being enforced, that's a different issue.

The regional pollution issue is a lot like the regional poverty issue. The 'burbs offload the negative externalities of having lots of poor folks by letting them flow "downstream" to DC. And there's nothing illegal about this. Of course, whether it's immoral is a different question altogether.
