THE VEHICLE FOR RECONCILIATION SO DEMOCRATS CAN PUSH THE INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE WITH JUST DEMOCRATIC VOTES ALONE. THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR TIME THIS AFTERNOON. GOOD TO SEE YOU BOTH. >>> ALL THIS Week NBC NEWS IS TAKING A LOOK AT SOLUTIONS FOR TAKING A LOOK AT SOLUTIONS FOR OUR COUNTRYS AGING INTPAU INFRASTRUCTURE. IN EPA ORDERED A CITY IN INDIANA TO STOP WITH THIS WELL, AND JOINING ME WITH THAT STORY IS CORRESPONDENT JOSH LETTERMAN. I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO TALK TO YOU, MY FRIEND, ALL AFTERNOON. I READ THE WRITUP FOR THIS STORY AND DONT UNDERSTAND, SO EXPLAIN IT TO US. >> Reporter: IT KIND OF WORKS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, LIKE AN UNDERGROUND STOCK MARKET WHERE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE SEWER WILL BID AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR LIMITED SPACE IN THE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, SO IF ITS RAINING ON THE EAST SIDE MORE THAN THE WEST SIDE, SO THE EAST SIDE MIGHT GET THE SPACE, AND HOW TO PROTECT TOMORROWS GENERATION WITHOUT IMPOVERISHING TODAYS? FOR A CENTURY, IT WAS THE ECONOMIC BACKBONE AND IT WAS ALSO THE SUER.STORM WATER AND SEWAGE WENT INTO THE RIVER. IN THE 1950 s, THE CITY BUILT THIS TREATMENT PLANT BUT WHEN IT Sprinkled IT WAS NOT Fairly. BEFORE THE SMART SEWER RAIN WATER WOULD FLOW OUT OF PIPES LIKE THESE, SENDING AS MANY AS 2 BILLION GALLONS OF POLLUTED WATER INTO THE RIVER. THE SOLUTION, SHOULD WE OPEN IT UP? >> YES .>> ALL RIGHT. Neural networks. 15 FEET BELOW GROUND. >> SO THIS BOX HERE IS WHAT IS CALLED A REMOTE TERMINAL UNIT. >> WHEN RAIN FILLS THE SEWER, THESE WIRELESS SENSORS DETECT WHICH PIPES ARE FULL. >> THIS IS ABLE TO DETECT THE INCREASED PRESSURE AND ITS ABLE TO SEND A SIGNAL. >> THEN PLAY TRAFFIC COP, >> THEN PLAY TRAFFIC COP, OPENING AND CLOSING VALVES TO DIRECT SEWAGE. >> THEY PROTECT THE WATER LEVELS ACROSS THE CITY EVERY FIVE MINUTES, DETECT THE WATER LEVELS ACROSS THE CITY EVERY FIVE MINUTES. >> WHILE SAVING MORE THAN $ 400 MILLION, E. COLI HAS BEEN CUT IN HALF. OTHER CITIES ARE ADOPTING THEIR OWN SMART SEWERS. THE AMOUNT OF VOTERS AND PEOPLE SWIMMING IN THIS RIVER ALL THE TIME NOW, I Repute THATS THE RESULT OF THE IMPROVED WATER QUALITY, IS HUMAN BEINGS ARE USING THE RIVER MORE NOW THAN EVER.JEFF, THESE ARE PROBLEMS THAT ARE GOING TO GROW OVER THE COMING DECADES. TWO-THIRDS OF THE AMERICAS.
