Talking Sh*t with Bayou City Waterkeeper

From time to time, the City of Houston's sewage overflows and spews poo and other undesirable waste into our city. To ensure we have an infrastructure capable of handling it, Kristen Schlemmer — legal director of Bayou City Waterkeeper — went to bat for Houston and raised $2 billion for infrastructure, as well as helped produce the "Poo Reports": data for Houstonians who want to keep track of the City of Houston's sewage performance. Today, Kristen talks with Lisa about what is being done to help fix the system, and what individual Houstonians can do.

Here is an interactive map of sewage overflows - it was put together in conjunction with Rice. Keep an eye on your area from here!
