Most people don't know that raw/untreated sewage is dumped directly into the rivers we use for drinking and recreation, and a lot of people get sick as a result. I hope that NYC manages to modernize their sewage systems successfully. In the meantime, anybody interested in sewage pollution, in or outside of NYC, should check out American Rivers' new campaign, called Right To Know For Clean Waters: http://actnow.healthyrivers.org/. They have a video featuring Flushie the talking toilet (!) and you can upload pictures and comments showing how you feel about sewage pollution. The sewage problem in NYC is seriously disgusting.

The Northeast blackout started in OHIO - what does that have to do with city infrastructure? Drinking water comes through sewage tunnels? Guess again. (And the first part of Tunnel #3 has been in operation for several years). The author is well intentioned, but needs to do a lot more learning before writing.
