The Justice Department sued Washington, D.C., and its sewage authority over a 244 million gallon raw sewage spill. The complaint, filed in federal court, says the spill overwhelmed the city's sewer system and released untreated waste into nearby rivers and streams. The department says the city and DC Water violated federal pollution rules and is asking the court for penalties and steps to prevent future releases.
