With dam failures and overflows from combined sewer and stormwater systems common, there’s more work to do. Many Midwest cities collect stormwater and sewage in pipes that can’t handle the volume of rain coursing through. A Connecticut law empowers cities to create their own stormwater management plans. Some go even further.
