Investing in Your Quality of Life

A boat ramp near the Little Miami River provides access to the Ohio River.When it rains, raw sewage mixed with storm water is spilling into the creeks, streams and rivers that you, your children and your neighbors rely on for recreation and aesthetics, and that much of our natural environment relies on for survival. As a community, we cannot ignore this threat to our public health, prosperity and quality of life.

As a user and an owner of the sewer system, you pay a service fee every quarter. This fee is your individual investment in the care and maintenance of this very important community resource.

But our sewer system is old. It’s deteriorating in some areas. In others, it’s not big enough to handle all the storm water that enters the system. Just as we all invest in maintaining our cars and homes, we need to invest in major sewer system improvements to ensure it will continue to meet our needs today and in the future.

The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD) has developed a comprehensive Wet Weather Program to address this public health issue. Through this program, you – as an owner of the sewer system – will be reinvesting in this vital piece of our community’s infrastructure and making a positive impact on the quality of life we all enjoy.

The Wet Weather Program is your program. It’s your investment in your community. Find out more. Get involved.
