Cleaning Up NYC’s Sewer System
from Glitter & Doom · host BRIC RADIO
Billions of gallons of untreated sewage flow into New York City’s rivers, creeks, bays, and canals every year, due to a flaw in an older sewer system. This violates the Clean Water Act—which the city has been under pressure to address for decades. Though the city has made some progress, we’re entering a critical new phase of this work and advocates want a bigger role for public input. To talk about what the next part of the clean-up plan could look like, Jarrett is joined by Julie Welch, program manager for the SWIM Coalition. Interested in getting involved? Attend a citywide meeting at CUNY School of Law in Queens, NY on Wed, Dec 5 at 6:30PM.
