What costs more than the Brent Spence Bridge, takes longer than paying off a mortgage, and is more complicated than your cell phone plan? The answer, of course, is MSD’s Wet Weather Improvement Plan, which aims to keep sewage from backing up into our basements and overflowing into rivers and streams.
Over the course of this 30+ year, $3 billion effort, one of the key moments is now. After nine years of Sierra Club advocacy and public outcry, MSD has released a package of proposals designed to hold more stormwater where it falls and make the MSD rate structure more equitable. Your help is needed to encourage the County Commissioners to act on MSD’s proposals.
You don’t need to be a policy wonk, and you don’t need to understand all the details (though you are welcome to read them here). It’s enough to tell the County Commissioners that sewage doesn’t belong in basements, rivers, or streams, and that they should support MSD’s proposed rate reforms.
