BRADENTON, Fla. - It's a problem that can't be fixed overnight, but the City of Bradenton has been working on improving and upgrading its wastewater infrastructure.

It's a process that has taken years and will cost more than $100 million dollars.

While it has been a long process, Mayor Gene Brown said the results will be seen for generations to come.

The improvements will help expand the facility's capacity to hold wastewater.

The facility processes around five-to-six million gallons of wastewater a day.
