Waste Management: Sh*t is Complicated
Manage episode 459563874 series 31201
We don't like to think about sewage. And when it's all working fine, we don't have to. But if we don't get comfortable talking about shit, we could soon be headed for serious trouble if our infrastructure collapses. And given that recent reports say 30 percent of Canadian water and wastewater infrastructure has either reached or passed the end of its lifespan, that failure feels more like a when than an if.
Reporter Leora Shertzer digs into he problems of one small Ontario town where they’ve spent decades trying to sort their shit out.
But solving it will mean untangling a mess of political, environmental, engineering, and frankly, personal interests. Because shit is complicated.
