Clean water, essential for life, is sometimes taken for granted in this day and age. Liquid Assets tells the story of essential infrastructure systems: drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater. These complex and aging systems—some in the ground for more than 100 years—are critical for basic sanitation, public safety, economic development, and the environment. The documentary highlights communities from across the United States, providing an understanding of hidden water infrastructure assets, demonstrating watershed protection approaches, and illustrating twenty-first century solutions.

The film will be followed by a brief discussion of water infrastructure in the 14 towns of the Neponset Watershed and how malfunctioning infrastructure has affected us locally. Hear it first-hand from the group that has tracked water quality in local streams and the Neponset River for over 40 years, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, canoes and sampling bottles!
