According to Harry C. Ways, Congressman Richard Stanton of Kentucky became Meigs's "particular nemesis, " accusing him of countless improprieties. But Meigs's problems really began after President Buchanan appointed John B. Floyd Secretary of War in 1857. The Washington Aqueduct provides the public water supply system serving Washington, D.C., and parts of its suburbs. One of the first major aqueduct projects in the United States, the Aqueduct was commissioned by Congress in 1852, and construction began in 1853 under the supervision of Montgomery C. Meigs and the US Army Corps of Engineers (which still owns and operates the system out of Baltimore District of the Corps). Portions of the Aqueduct went online on January 3, 1859, and the full pipeline began operating in 1864. The system has been in continuous use ever since. It is listed as a National Historic Landmark, and the Union Arch Bridge within the system is listed as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
