There's something wrong with the plumbing in Cincinnati. Sewage is bubbling up in our basements and pouring into our waterways. Climate change is making it worse, and the powers that be can't seem to agree on how to fix it.Backed Up is a podcast that demystifies one of the most complex systems of public infrastructure — our sewers — and tells the stories of the people suffering under decades of mismanagement. Your hosts are Becca Costello, local government reporter for WVXU, and Ella Rowen, podcast coordinator for WVXU's parent company, Cincinnati Public Radio.You can subscribe to Backed Up at:Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazonPocket CastsCastboxPandoraSoundCloudYouTubeRSS FeedAll information can be found at wvxu.org/backedup.© 2024 Cincinnati Public Radio / 91.7 WVXU Ciencias Sociales

    Episode 5: Dollars Down the Drain

    One of the biggest barriers to progress is, of course, money. The only source of funding for fixing these problems is sewer rates; advocates say the MSD rate structure puts unfair burden on residential customers, while big corporate customers get significant discounts. Plus, county officials are considering a brand new stormwater fee. See a transcript of this episode along with more photos and videos at wvxu.org/backedup.
