Here is the final report on MSD’s efforts to protect the wastewater treatment system and prevent basement backups during the recent flooding:

Grand Glaize Wastewater Treatment Plant at Valley Park 
River levels have lowered enough to allow clean-up and repositioning of equipment.
 
Fenton Wastewater Treatment Plant
We have regained normal access to the Fenton Wastewater Treatment Plant. We are able to staff the plant as usual. 
 
Mississippi River and River Des Peres
The river levels are falling. 
 
Pump Stations
Nine pumps stations along the Meramec were shut down during the rain event.  Damage assessment and repair will begin at each pump station as the water recedes.
