MSD
•MSD is a public/government agency, created in 1954
•Prior to 1954, the area was covered by 79 separate sewer
systems
•First sewers built in the 1850s in response to the 1849
cholera outbreak
•MSD works every day to protect the public’s health and
the natural environment through effective wastewater
and stormwater management strategies
•MSD repairs and replaces broken pipes and manholes
within the public system as part of regular maintenance
and operations
3
Two Utilities
•MSD is a wastewater and a stormwater utility,
with dedicated revenue streams
•Wastewater service is funded by rates based
upon water usage and account type
•Stormwater service is funded by a flat fee
and small property taxes, based upon
geographic location
•The two revenue streams cannot be mixed

Stormwater service overview
•MSD assumed stormwater management east of I-270 in 1954,
and took over the stormwater management for the remainder
of our service area in St. Louis County in 1989
•Stormwater service has differed among parts of the service
area due to differences in funding for stormwater system
maintenance and system improvement
•Analyzing community stormwater needs by seeking
community input and studying existing needs, if any, are
important to determining the future of stormwater service in
MSD’s service area
