Ever ridden an e-bike before? Well, now's your chance to try one! @bikeshare is bringing them back to the region tomorrow. The new bikes will be dockless so you can leave them anywhere. They're fun to ride & make it so easy to get around. Can't wait! 😀 🎉 wapo.st/2VW0N8U

Recently, we announced the recipients of our 2020 Environmental Grant program, providing funding to support source water protection projects across the Commonwealth. Congrats to @4MRConservatory, @FOLARVA, @PWSWCD and @JRAvirginia. Read more at ow.ly/R8qz50AbEvF

The ghost dock beached at Four Mile Run -- where did it come from?

Litter imposes a huge cost on our communities: "The trap itself cost $104,500, and other project costs, such as design, permitting, site access, easements, and construction, totaled $587,000. Routine maintenance costs are estimated at $45,000 annually." fairfaxcounty.gov/publicworks/ne…

Grantees include: @ECOCityFarms, @PotomacRiver, @LiveItLearnItDC & @4MRConservatory

Happy #EarthDay! Today, we celebrate our Spring Creek Environmental Fund grantees. We granted nearly $50K to support local food security, environmental education, pollution clean-up and restoration work during the #CoronavirusOutbreak.

Update: Crews this morning stopped the discharge into Four Mile Run. The overflow was apparently caused by rocks sent down the affected manhole, now sealed. Humans/pets should continue to avoid the creek this week downstream. Expected rains will help clear the area.

INCIDENT: Sanitary Sewage Release LOCATION: Four Mile Run Creek, south of 7th St S IMPACT: Avoid contact with Four Mile Run Creek downstream of 7th St S until further notice due to a sanitary sewage release. County Water/Sewer/Streets is responding.

And, what's more, we're now incredibly close to moving forward with our 4MR Water Access project. You all helped make it a reality!
