(Satellite, see below for an image that has the tanks. This site can store 30 million gallons.)

"The wastewater storage tanks along I-75 are generating $39 million in local investment and supporting jobs in the region."
I think that is an indirect way of saying the project costs $39m.

"The e2i2 project, part of the broader Clear Chattanooga initiative following the U.S. EPA consent decree, consists of the construction of two wet weather equalization stations that will store approximately 40 million gallons of excess wastewater during heavy rain events." [chattanooga_project]

Chicagoland's TARP is fortunate that it has quarries for storage because that saves the cost of building tanks and having to pump the sewage up into the tanks during a storm. TARP talks in terms of billions of gallons of storage instead of merely millions of gallons.
