Executive Summary
Purpose and Methodology
ETC Institute conducted a post-contact survey for the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
during the 1st quarter of 2015. The survey was administered by phone to a random sample of
451 customers who had contacted MSD for either a billing issue or maintenance problem.
The survey was administered to a minimum of 75 clients randomly selected from billing records
and 75 clients randomly selected from field service (Hanson) records each month. The overall
results of the survey for this quarter have a precision of at least +/-4.6% at the 95% level of
confidence. The results of the individual billing and field service (Maximo) sub-samples have a
precision of at least +/-6.5% at the 95% level of confidence for this quarter. Since the type of
field service calls varied widely from one quarter to the next, ETC Institute weighted the field
service responses so that each of the four types of calls were equal for the results shown in this
report. The four types of field service calls were: 1) Cave In, 2) Water Backup, 3) Stormwater,
and 4) Other (all other calls).
This report contains:
