Know what it would take to replace the sewers in NYC....We now have a situation where we have these catastrophic super storms. These storms are delivering huge amounts of rain. Cities like NYC, Philiy,Miami. and many other cities within the United States need to redesign their sewer systems. We need a sewer systems in many cities that can accept huge amounts of water, with large underground tanks, that can process the water, clean it up and store it, so that this water can be used in times of drought, like what we see now out in the western United states. Certain cities need also invest in a seagagte system to protect many coastal cities. The Europeans have some of these "seagate system already in place .
They still work pretty well ....they can get overwhelmed in heavy storms
Thiers just shit loads of underground infrastructure ...
Watermains alone
Hell I think they finally got rid of the wood watermains
2 or 3 were still connected to the system and carrying water in the 2000's
2004 or 5
Installed in the 19th century .....
