Site Description: The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) was created on February 9, 1954 when voters approved a plan to combine 79 regional sewer districts into one city-wide system for the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater. With more than 9,600 miles of sewer lines, St. Louis is home to the country’s fourth largest sewer system—and one of the oldest. The MSD Headquarters recently underwent green infrastructure renovations, creating a space for employees and visitors alike that welcomes the community to learn about green infrastructure and directly contributes to its clean water goals.
