Project Clear

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Project Clear

Project Clear is a very important project that will help reduce sewer back ups, reduce untreated sewage overflow, and save ratepayers money!

As a homeowner, you can help by working with MSD at NO COST to you by allowing MSD to correct your home’s storm water connections.

Please take time to review the attached information and diagrams of incorrect and correct connections. You will be surprised to see what a correct connection looks like vs. an incorrect connection. Chances are your home may need the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) to make corrections at NO CHARGE to you as part the their capital improvement project.

Visit www.ProjectClearSTL.org for more information.
