But that’s extremely expensive, and generally requires exceedingly unpopular rate hikes.

Doing so would prevent less rainwater from entering the system, reducing the risk of it being overwhelmed. The utility says it has already seen a 22% decrease in flow since 2011, which it attributes to homeowners and cities fixing their pipes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are we done yet? No,” said Pook. “But we're definitely on our way to helping to decrease those flows into our wastewater system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities can also upgrade their pipes — the next segment of the wastewater system — to increase capacity. But that’s extremely expensive, and generally requires exceedingly unpopular rate hikes. For instance, replacing the relatively small sewer system in Castro Valley — a community of fewer than 65,000 people — would cost around $500 million, said Nelson, of the sanitary district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pipes are underground, they're not sexy, they're out of sight, out of mind,” the Baykeeper’s Choksi-Chugh said. “City councils just don't tend to prioritize funding maintenance of these pipes and making sure that they're upgraded and maintained properly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while acknowledging the importance of these localized approaches, Choksi-Chugh also argues that more of the onus should be placed on the utilities, rather than their customers. Water districts, she says, need to overhaul their sorely outdated treatment plants — an intimidatingly expensive proposition, but one whose costs can be partially offset by new \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/11/15/1055841358/biden-signs-1t-bipartisan-infrastructure-bill-into-law\">federal\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/\">state\u003c/a> infrastructure grants and loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because then we wouldn't be discharging all of this untreated sewage into the bay,” she said. “We would actually be capturing it all and recycling it. And it wouldn't be having these kinds of impacts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm really hoping,” Choksi-Chugh added, “that this is a wake-up call for the wastewater industry and for the local government agencies to say we need to invest in better infrastructure around the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes additional reporting from KQED's Lesley McClurg.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11938273/our-worst-nightmare-as-storms-raged-millions-of-gallons-of-sewage-spilled-into-bay-area-waterways-streets-and-yards","authors":["byline_news_11938273"],"categories":["news_8","news_356"],"tags":["news_295","news_18299","news_1730","news_5909","news_20287"],"featImg":"news_11938448","label":"news"},"news_11898161":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11898161","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11898161","score":null,"sort":[1638837496000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"scientists-find-traces-of-omicron-in-sewage-from-sacramento-and-merced","title":"Scientists Find Traces of Omicron in Sewage From Sacramento and Merced","publishDate":1638837496,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:15 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> A scientific research team testing sewage in California reported late Monday that two genetic markers in the new omicron variant were found in wastewater samples from Merced and Sacramento.
