The City of Warson Woods and the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) would like everyone to do their best to keep water flowing in our area, prevent water damage, and help preserve the environment.
There are a number of MSD stormwater projects affecting Warson Woods that are currently in the design process with construction scheduled in fiscal year (FY) 23 (which begins 1 July 2022). The City works with MSD in identifying, scheduling, and prioritizing these projects. These projects have been funded through the Deer Creek Operations, Maintenance, and Capital Improvement (OMCI) Fund, which Warson Woods residents and other residents in the Deer Creek watershed fund through their property taxes. These projects include:
- Mark Drive-Monaco Drive Storm Sewer (Project Number 12757) (Wards 3-4).
- Beaucaire Drive Storm Sewer (Project Number 12469) (Ward 3).
- Dearborn Drive Storm Sewer (Project Number 11205) (Ward 1).
- Meadow Creek Lane 508 Storm Sewer (Project Number 11972) (Ward 3).
- Renderer Drive Streambank Stabilization (Project Number 13287) (Ward 2). Note that this project will be included in the design and construction of the WW-2 and WW-3 Warson Woods Sanitary Relief project mentioned below.
In addition to the storm-water projects above, there is a major sanitary sewer replacement project to replace the sanitary sewer underneath Warson Woods Drive. This project is named WW-2 and WW-3 Warson Woods Sanitary Relief (Project Number 12302). This project is also in the design phase with construction estimated to start in the spring/ summer 2022.
If Warson Woods residents have sewer backups or experience issues due to yard or residence flooding because of storm water flow or suspect an illicit discharge to a sanitary/storm sewer, they should contact MSD at 314-768-6260 to report the issue at once. Customer service issues that they can assist with are found on their website.
The City of Warson Woods, along with many other St. Louis County Municipalities, is a Co-Permittee for the St. Louis Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. MSD serves as the coordinating authority for this permit for St. Louis County municipalities. The following information is intended to educate our residents and provide useful tips on select topics. Public education on topics that will help achieve water quality standards on our receiving streams is one of our annual permit requirements. Please take the time to review this information.
