Answer

The sewage from the town of Somerset used to run directly into what?

ANSWER:

C: Little Falls Run

In 1906, the town of Somerset in Chevy Chase was incorporated and officials immediately turned their attention to the town’s main sewer. The sewer, a large terra cotta pipe, emptied directly into Little Falls Run – a health hazard for those downstream. Town officials arranged for the sewage to be diverted from the creek to a community cesspool in a nearby field. After 1918, with the creation of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, the county’s safe water and sewer system arrived.
