RK Families,
I've recently purchased a copy of the new documentary, "Liquid Assets: The
Story of Our Water Infrastructure." It tells the somewhat shocking story of
how our underground drinking water, wastewater, and storm water systems in
the U.S. Are past their prime. It also shares some stories from major
cities about how they are coping. St. Louis is not a subject city, but it
could have been. We have a combined system here that can cause (in high
water situations) an overflow of raw storm drain and sewer water straight
into the Mississippi River. This type of system is discussed as well as the
issues a municipality such as St. Louis faces because of the choices made so
long ago.
If you're interested in buying it, you can Google the title and get there from the main site, or follow the link that the blogger-man made here. (Not a straight-forward process, I'm afraid, unless you follow the link that the blogger-man made.) If you'd simply like to borrow it, I bought it for that purpose. I should have it in my room at school starting Monday.
Don't forget about the upcoming showing of "A Sewer Runs Through It" at the
Tivoli November 12! River Kids wound up reserving 34 seats, so we will be
there in force! If you didn't reserve a seat, you may still come to this
event.
If you can't make this one, we'll be publicizing the info on a second
showing at NCS later on.
Rock on!
