$1.6 billion to fix Miami-Dade water, sewer pipes

Miami-Dade commissioners approve spending $1.6 billion to fix water, sewer pipes - Miami-Dade - MiamiHerald.com: "Miami-Dade commissioners swallowed hard medicine Tuesday, approving an agreement with the federal and state governments to settle violations of environmental laws and committing $1.6 billion over the next 15 years to fix the county’s antiquated water and sewer pipes. “Any world-class city has good infrastructure, and the most important infrastructure in any city is its water and sewer,” Mayor Carlos Gimenez told the board. “Without water, we can’t live. Without getting rid of wastewater, then we’re susceptible to disease.”"

OK, I think I get it--water good; wastewater (a/k/a sewage) bad.
