Stormwater Improvement Program
With the passage of Proposition S in April 2024, voters created the first-ever regional stormwater improvement program in the St. Louis region. With the funding from Proposition S, MSD Project Clear will be able to help address the growing number of stormwater problems like flooding and erosion affecting customers in the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County. Many of these problems are decades old and getting worse as residents deal with more frequent, more powerful storms fueled by climate change.
Once a stormwater project is identified, it is added to MSD Project Clear’s list of identified projects and scheduled based on its benefit-cost analysis ranking. Larger projects are planned at least five years out for budgeting purposes. Higher-priority projects will move into design and construction sooner, while it may be several years for others due to funding limitations and the growing list of stormwater problems.
