Metro Detroiters are demanding answers for catastrophic flooding this summer that swamped basements, filled streets, and destroyed property. Yes, climate change is definitely feeding into this. But there’s also a lot to say about Metro Detroit’s water and sewer systems. Today on the pod, we dig into why these systems are failing more often—and who should pay for upgrades to make them more resilient.    GUESTS:  Joey Horan, freelance reporter with Outlier Media You can read Joey’s Planet Detroit piece on Detroit’s drainage fees here.
