These pipes are supposed to carry waste from Cambridge, Watertown, Waltham, Newton, and parts of Boston to a treatment plant in Boston Harbor. But the trunk lines now operating are too small to handle all of the flow. So the MDC is forced to release the excess volume into the Charles through a number of overflow valves...

Consequently, after a rain, the water run-off and the normal sewage combine to produce a large volume of flow, all of which must be fed into the MDC truck lines. The additional water requires the discharge of diluted sewage into the river through the overflow valves...

To enrich his theme and variegate his texture, he abruptly interjects a two-minute "quote" from another movie and later for the same reasons rabbets in some paragraphs of Edgar Allan Poe. To check and jumble the flow of the story, he chops it into twelve curt chapters, each labeled like a folder in a file...
