 Welcome
to the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati’s (MSD)
web site for the Sycamore Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion project.
Located in Symmes
Township, the Sycamore Creek plant serves more than 30,000 customers in
Blue Ash, Indian Hill, Madeira, Montgomery, and Sycamore and Symmes townships.
The Sycamore plant is one of seven major wastewater treatment plants operated
by MSD in Hamilton County.
MSD
would like to expand the treatment capacity of the Sycamore plant
to handle area wastewater flows well into the future. The plant has
frequently operated in excess of its capacity during wet weather when
higher than normal wastewater flows occur. During extreme rain events,
the plant is sometimes overwhelmed, resulting in raw sewage overflows
into Sycamore Creek and the Little Miami River.
Planned expansions
and improvements to the plant will increase its design average treatment
capacity from 6 to 9 million gallons per day (MGD) during dry weather
and from 32 to 50 MGD during wet weather.
This web site
is dedicated to keeping you informed about MSD’s plans for expanding
the Sycamore plant. If
you have any questions or concerns about this project, please contact
MSD’s 24-hour customer service line at (513) 244-5500.
