City leaders are cleaning up our waterways & residents can help. How greening up your yard may put green in your wallet. CityStream premiers Thursday at 7 p.m.

SEATTLE - The federal government is making hundreds of American cities-including Seattle - upgrade their sewer systems to comply with the Clean Water Act. While the project will cost half a billion dollars locally over the next fifteen years, some citizens have found creative ways to help the environment and get a check sent to them.
