In the 1940s & 50s pollution levels in the Potomac River prompted action. One paper even described the river as "too thick to drink and too thin to plow" — as this Izaak Walton League video shows. AlexRenew (formerly Alexandria Sanitation Authority) was established in 1952 to create healthier waterways in our community, and we've been proud to keep that promise ever since.
