This is a documentary about New York City's four primary utilities: Water, Electricity, Sewer and Trash Hauling. While making a pot of coffee (using all four utilities), Judd Hirsch narrates the details about how these utilities operate and what needs to be done in the future. Issues such as conservation, infrastructure improvement, environmental management and recycling are addressed.
It is nicely done showing showing the inner workings of services we take for granted. Where does the City's water come from? How is electrical demand managed? Where does the sewage and trash go?
This episode is 30+ years old now. I would like to see a new followup episode to show what progress (or lack thereof) has been made.
