narrator: atlanta is a rapidly growing urban area. its primary source of drinking water is the chattahoochee river, which also provides water to many downstream communities. but its infrastructure is dangerously old, without outdated facilities and combined sewer overflows polluting the watershed. the city faces strict consent decrees and lawsuits, along with a severe lack of funding. man: when i started working for the city of atlanta in the late '70s, we were approaching that point in time where a lot was going to be needed, in terms of rehabilitation and upkeep. most of the very large pipes were at least 80 years old. we had needs that were identified in the '50s and in the '60s and in the '70s that were deferred. woman: we are urging that we all try to find a way to overcome the obstacles and limitations that might exist. woman: when i was running for office, i met someone who knew mayor hartsfield, who, in the late 1960s, said, "i don't know who the next mayor will be, "but i know they'll have to fix the water and sewer infrastru

he will go to atlanta. two prongs. i will take richmond. he will take atlanta. the war will be over in a month or so. and in the unexpected happens. richmond is pretty close to washington. atlanta is a lot longer. good transportation and roads. atlanta is and this so-called wilderness of the georgia pine wood. grand kiss near richmond, but then we have these names that even today make a shudder. cold harbor, wilderness', spotsylvania, petersburg. and if you look at the army in may of 1864 and you looked september, almost 80 percent is killed, wounded, or missing. the reputation of grant is changed. people -- mary todd lincoln is calling him a butcher, murder. you get the impression that although that is a very much more difficult task to fight right in front of richmond, he has done something that is not politically sustainable. suddenly you have fremont on the left. he says that lincoln should not be nominated. forestry's says he should not be nominated. the new york times, all the newspapers turnon lankan. he has for the resignation of his cabinet. all of a su

we're 310 feet below grade, deep under atlanta in hard rock. in the downtown area of atlanta, the sewer system and the stormwater system are combined and there are overflows during storm events, and so the purpose of this system is to relieve that flow, take it into the tunnel, transport it to a brand-new treatment plant, clean up the chattahoochee river. narrator: instead of the combined sewage overflowing into the river, it will flow into this tunnel that acts as a storage tank. the water will then slowly empty into the new plant for treatment before it's released back into the river. man: the system in total is about 8 1/2 miles, 27 feet in diameter. most of the time it will be dry. the only time it will fill is when the sewer system is overwhelmed by the storm. it is a massive project. our budget was $210 million. we've worked about a million and a half man-hours. hunter: it is an incredible amount of work. our capital program right now is $3.9 billion. over a period of less than 10 years. franklin: so it's very expensive. the bottom line i
