In Omaha, the Feds came up with an unfunded mandate to split them. Added $50 a month to people’s monthly sewer bill.

“NYC only has combo system no separate systems for rain and flush”

Well - about 60% of their system is like that, so under heavy conditions, untreated sewage is dumped into waterways.

NYC only has combo system no separate systems for rain and flush.

All too common on what were once the “most modern” cities is the vast underground networking pieced together over the decades. It is incredibly expensive to repair/modify these systems so nothing gets done until disaster hits - then they make excuses because fixing the problem would break them. Then the extra construction covers most of the available ground with concrete so water can’t be absorbed and, presto - they become prone to sewerage spills and “Climate Change” caused, unprecedent flooding - dontyaknow.
