1
00:00:01.060 --> 00:00:03.271
<v Declan>Every storm drain has one job.

2
00:00:03.281 --> 00:00:05.332
<v Declan>Let the rain go somewhere else.

3
00:00:05.892 --> 00:00:06.977
<v Declan>Meet Clam.

4
00:00:06.987 --> 00:00:08.013
<v Declan>Doesn't say much.

5
00:00:08.023 --> 00:00:11.472
<v Declan>He just opens his mouth, and takes the trouble out.

6
00:00:12.032 --> 00:00:15.672
<v Declan>Chicago plans to clean about fifteen thousand catch basins a year.

7
00:00:15.682 --> 00:00:18.388
<v Declan>Do the math. I'll wait.

8
00:00:20.048 --> 00:00:22.748
<v Declan>Skip the cleaning, and the rain finds a basement.

9
00:00:22.758 --> 00:00:26.734
<v Declan>Last year, Chicagoans filed more than nineteen thousand complaints.

10
00:00:26.744 --> 00:00:29.009
<v Undertow>Not every flood starts at a drain.

11
00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:32.047
<v Declan>No. But a clogged one never helped.

12
00:00:32.607 --> 00:00:34.128
<v Declan>Twelve million dollars.

13
00:00:34.138 --> 00:00:35.592
<v Declan>Two underground tanks.

14
00:00:35.602 --> 00:00:38.534
<v Declan>Twenty-nine hundred buildings protected.

15
00:00:38.544 --> 00:00:41.063
<v Declan>Pay for the pipe, or pay for the flood.

16
00:00:41.623 --> 00:00:44.332
<v Declan>The jaw goes down, the dark comes up,

17
00:00:44.342 --> 00:00:46.389
<v Declan>the rain runs out of sight.

18
00:00:48.037 --> 00:00:50.537
<v Declan>Pay for the pipe. GOTB Consulting, gotbconsulting.com
