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.

It just makes sense to have flexible scaleable systems at different levels. That’s just more advanced. It’s a whole toolbox. What we do now is say, we can afford giant sledgehammers, so we will only use sledgehammers on every problem we have and throw out out other tools.
