About this episode
In a September episode of the Strong Towns Podcast , Chuck talked about the water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi . He spoke on the technicalities of American water systems, what failed in Jackson, and how Jackson ended up in a crisis . Now, in this week’s episode, Chuck dives a little deeper into water systems and why we even have them (hint: it’s not just about safe drinking water). He takes listeners back to the 1800s and describes how historical events affected the standard for today’s water systems—shining a light on current aging water systems, like Jackson’s, and how we should be thinking about water systems going forward.
