VDH News Release: Recreational Water Advisory

February 13, 2026: VDH Issues Recreational Water Advisory for the Potomac River

Due to reports of sewage spills in the Potomac River and the anticipated timeline for repairs, the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is issuing a recreational water advisory for Virginia residents. For the safety of people and pets, VDH is advising Virginia residents to avoid recreational water activities in the Potomac River, such as swimming, wading, tubing, white-water canoeing or kayaking, where full-body submersion is more likely to occur.

The advisory is being issued out of an abundance of caution due to a sewage spill in the Potomac River that occurred January 19, and subsequent reports of a sewage discharge February 7. The timeline for the repair is estimated to be four to six weeks. The advisory area extends for 72.5 miles from the American Legion Memorial Bridge (I-495) in Fairfax County to the Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge (Route 301) in King George County.

VDH has observed no evidence of impacts to drinking water at this time.

For updates on the repair status, visit DC Water. For updates on Virginia impacts and to find links to the Maryland and DC agencies responding to this incident, please visit www.vdh.virginia.gov/news/potomac-sewage-spill/.

Correction: Two people were confirmed over the weekend to have measles while in Northern Virginia, state health officials said.

HAYMARKET, VA — A preschooler with a confirmed case of measles and traveler who visited Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport bring Virginia's total cases of the highly contagious disease this winter to six, said state officials.

The child is age 4 or younger who lives in Northern Virginia, while the other person traveled through Reagan Airport on Jan. 26.

One of the patients later visited a medical clinic in Prince William County, according to the Virginia Department of Health.

The dates, times, and locations of the potential exposure sites in Virginia are:

What to Do If You Have Been Exposed to Measles

Most people in Virginia have immunity to measles through vaccination, so the risk to the general public is low. However, anyone who was at the potential exposure sites at the times listed should:

Any additional exposure sites identified in Virginia will be posted to the VDH Measles website.

General Measles Information

Measles is a highly contagious illness that can spread easily through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. Measles symptoms usually appear in two stages. In the first stage, most people have a fever of greater than 101 degrees, runny nose, watery red eyes, and a cough. These symptoms usually start seven to 14 days after being exposed.

The second stage starts three to five days after symptoms start, when a rash begins to appear on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. People with measles are contagious from four days before the rash appears through four days after the rash appeared.

Measles is preventable through a safe and effective MMR vaccine. Two doses of the vaccine are given to provide lifetime protection, health officials said.

Virginia has high measles vaccination rates, with approximately 95% of kindergarteners fully vaccinated against measles. However, infants who are too young to be vaccinated, and others who are not vaccinated, are at high risk of developing measles if they are exposed. Infants six months through 11 months of age who will be traveling internationally, or to an outbreak setting, should receive one dose of MMR vaccine prior to travel. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have questions about the MMR vaccine.

Northern Virginia is in for some weather whiplash. After highs in the 50s in the Baltimore-DC region Wednesday, frigid air will move in and drop temperatures into the teens, the National Weather Service said.

Rain will fall later tonight until about 4 a.m., but there is little chance of snow as temperatures drop to the mid-20s in the DC area. Thursday could be the coldest day of the year so far, one forecast said, with an overnight low in the teens.

Rain and snow showers are possible Saturday morning before temperatures climb back into the 40s.

Wind gusts out of the northwest rising to 32 miles per hour could also bring a wind chill early Thursday, the NWS said.

"The cold front passing through tonight — a little after midnight — may not produce much in the way of precipitation but it will produce a sharp drop in temperatures," The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang said. "On Thursday, temperatures may not budge, holding in the upper 20s and low 30s all day. Factoring in winds, gusting over 30 mph, it will feel like the teens for the duration. This will be among the coldest days of the winter so far."
