its always adorable when places thats just a few centuries calls themselfs old with the same tone like citys that existed for thousands of years ^^
With the age of Baltimore I am betting that there was no sewer system at all when the city was built. It was certainly that way in the part of Toronto, Ontario in which i grew up. All the houses had cess pools in the backyards. Sometime around 1920 a combinef waste water and run off system was built under the entire city. Everything in that system went through the sewage treatment plant unless there was a very large rainfall that overwhelmed the treatment plants, in ehich case the overflow was sent directly into Lake Ontario. During the 1990s, the old system was removed and two new sewer systems were installed, separating storm and sewage systems. That was a big job, as Toronto had grown to a bit over 2 million residents. It does work. Toronto used to have buildings on the flood plains. The city was hit by one hurricane in 1954. After that, flood olains were deemed unbuildable and made into park land. Other flood control measures were put into place. 60 years later these measures were challenged when the city was hit with a storm that dumped 129 mm of rain in 4 hours. Very little damage was found.

the experts were also the ones who built them trust no one
The Xbox remote which they use to monitor the sewerage system does they borrow it from the submarine team 😂😂😂😂

Hahaha i was thinking of that sub. They really use those for serious engneering
If only Chinese engineers would teach this people..😂😂
Karma is paying it back to Baltimore
What on earth is the neuroscientist contributing to this series?

"... as 'insert random expert here' explains."
How to ruin a really interesting program. Intersperse with a nanochemist, a neurobiologist and perhaps an astronaut to add pointless comments. Stir in a lot of loud drums till you can hardly hear the commentary and here is the result.!
