The head of DC Water and Sewer Authority is David L. Gadis and he has been there since 2018. He’s also one of the folks who told the residents of Flint, Michigan that their drinking water was “safe” in spite of massive lead in the city. Now in his current position as CEO of DC Water, they are claiming the poop in the Potomac does not affect the drinking water. Sure. But did Gadis’ penchant for DEI have something to do with the millions of gallons of raw sewage spewing into the river?

“The sewage spill, which began last month, has unleashed hundreds of millions of gallons of wastewater into the Potomac River, forcing authorities to issue alerts to residents in the nation’s capital, Maryland, and Virginia to avoid contact with the river as E.coli levels skyrocketed. DC Water said the disaster was caused by the partial collapse of the Potomac Interceptor sewer line, which resulted in a massive overflow of wastewater that made its way into the Potomac.

In just the first five days after the sewer line’s collapse, around 194 million gallons overflowed, DC Water said on February 6. In an update this week, the utility said that a total of 243.5 million gallons have spilled into the Potomac since January 19…

Under Gadis, DC Water has also sought to award contracts to minority- and women-owned businesses, The Daily Caller reported on Tuesday. In fiscal year 2024 alone, DC Water awarded women-owned and “disadvantaged” businesses around $520 million of its $1.33 billion in total awards. Gadis also believes it’s important for the utility to have a “diverse workforce” to establish “trust” with homeowners who “like to see people that look like them and walk like them.” Daily Wire

Is DEI to blame? It didn’t help.

Ignore the fact that they just had a MASSIVE and historic sewage spill. Here’s DC Water Chair Unique Morris Hughes:

“The disruption work that I’m doing is I am on a mission to make sure black & brown kids” get careers.

This is the left, folks.

Just as President Trump orders FEMA to step in and help with the massive DC sewage spill into the Potomac, Democrats are taking FEMA funding hostage. Genius. https://t.co/OplWSk5oMm— Marc Thiessen ??❤️?????? (@marcthiessen) February 17, 2026

As DEI ran rampant in the DC Water and Sewer Authority, no one bothered to check the pipes to see if they were up to code. Consequently, poop in the Potomac is now one of the largest environmental disasters in history.
