Organization & Structure

This agreement consolidated the City's Sewer Department with Hamilton County's Sewer District. Under the agreement, MSD is a County Sewer District, with the management and operated provided by the City of Cincinnati. The agreement is a 50-year contract between the two governments. MSD's employees work at facilities located throughout the county, and provide service to customers in most of the county's municipalities and townships.
