My article is titled, "Saving U.S. Water and Sewer Systems Would Be Costly," written by CHarles Duhigg. It talks about how in Washington they were experiencing a problem; they can't deliver water. Because of the rain storms, every day a pipe is breaking causing untreated sewage to flow into the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers. Studies indicate that the sewage systems are too old to function because som were built around the same time as the Civil War. People pay almost nothing for water, when it really holds a lot more value.
