Delete, merge, or redirect?
The topic of this article is covered in some detail at the main article for the DC Water and Sewer Authority. I was thinking of proposing a deletion or merge.--Koppas (talk) 17:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I propose that District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority be merged into this article. The length of that section is starting to become WP:UNDUE.  Per WP:SPINOFF, it would be better to leave a summary-style stub in the Sewer Authority article, and put the story of the lead contamination here.  Also, the lead issue isn't just a problem for the Sewer Authority; it dragged the EPA and CDC down with it, too.  See, for example, the writeup I added to Marc Edwards (civil engineering professor).  (That should be liberally raided, too.) // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 02:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * yes, agree, move all that material here, and rewrite a summary there. also take material from Marc Edwards (civil engineering professor). 98.163.75.189 (talk) 02:20, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I've boldly gone ahead and performed the spinoff. I will work on cleaning up the merged text; it needs a good bit of work. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 21:48, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
