How are mayors and other local leaders facing an aging infrastructure, tight city budgets and changing climates in the Mississippi watershed?

MPR News host Kerri Miller put that question before a panel of leaders at the US Water Alliance's One Water Summit. Miller spoke with:

•Rita Albrecht Mayor of Bemidji, Minnesota

• Radhika Fox, CEO of the US Water Alliance

• James Anthony Parrott, Executive Director for the Jefferson County Sewer District in Louisville, Kentucky

•Phil Stang, Mayor of Kimmswick, Missouri
